signfan Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Looking at some used sleds across the provincial border. What's involved in bringing to Ontario? Do I pay sales tax here or there? Do I have to notify the Quebec gov't I'm registering the sled in Ontario? Any surprises or additional costs I should worry about? How do I search in Quebec to ensure the sled doesn't have any liens against it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signfan Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Not sure. Just looking at my options. Does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfish Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 taxes would be paid when you register the sled in Ont. Can't help you with lien searching in QC, but this site http://app.cpic-cipc.ca/English/searchformvin.cfm can help with stolen sleds/cars/Atvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Just be careful, since Quebec has a large fleet of rental sleds. I have heard cases of people buying them cheap, reprogramming the odometers and re selling them for a good dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Not sure. Just looking at my options. Does it matter? One of the guys on our yearly trip bought a new sled in Amos this past spring. The dealer there collected the federal part of the HST (5%) and he paid the PST portion when he registered it in Ontario. If I was buying privately in Quebec I wouldn't be giving the seller any tax but would get a signed off registration and a detailed invoice (sales receipt) from the seller marked paid in full and signed.

They used to show up @ the used sled corral during the T.O. sled show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signfan Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 I've seen a few of these high miler rental units. If the price is right is there anything wrong with a rental unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way to tell if it has been damaged. Rental fleets fix their own and don't use insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 No insurance....??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 No insurance....??? They have insurance, but they always charge the renter for the damages and have it fixed without claiming insurance. Therefore there never is a paper trail for the repair. Same thing happens on vehicles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manotickmike Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Bought my Yamaha Apex in Quebec. No issues. Well kept sled that only saw properly maintained trails. By comparison, the local offerings were more $$ and more banged up, with less mileage. My next sled will come from Quebec too. YMMV, Caveat emptor, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 A&K Recreation used to bring in truck loads of Quebec sleds that were bought from a couple of resorts who rented them only for guided tours and didn't let the renter take off and do stupid things on their own. He gave me the name of the resorts that he bought their inventory from and I checked at the time both by calling them and checking their website for rentals and confirmed they only did guided tours aimed at beginners. End result a bunch of excellent condition sleds that had been used regularly but not abused. My wife's last sled, a Skidoo Legend 1000 4 stroke came from Quebec and we had lots of worry free use out of it. It was in great condition and spotless under the cowling.

reevester Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Lol. VR700 typically knows more then the rest of us so just listen to him. Yes Quebec sleds can be high milage but I've never seen anyone take as good care as some of the Frenchman do to their sleds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 sled depot seems to sell a lot of sleds from Quebec, bought one years ago from them that came from Quebec and had no issues with it or them. If someone is going to wind a speedo back they are going to regardless of where it comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember seeing a bunch of used 'doos @ Coffey's back in the 90s. Pretty sure most of them had PQ dealer stickers on them. What is the paper trail like for sleds over there? I recall asking a dealer staffer years ago why I saw so many "wrecked" cars on transports heading to Quebec. He said they didn't have "branding" on the ownerships, so body shops would rebuild them & sell them as used cars. As an aside, I wonder how many "new" cars will hit the used car market in the US w/ the flooding in Louisiana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
