OoP inspections

[lellowrx7]

I ended up buying a car last week, the guy said it was registered in alberta previously. It had an alberta plate on it for the test drive and stupidly i thought nothing of it.
I go to get it registered and they said its never been registered in canada. fuck.
luckily i found the form 1 in the glove box so whatever i guess ill just go get the oop and fix whatever needs to be fixed.
Now, where have you guys gone and had decent experiences with??
Ive used harbor auto in the past, always good guys but i wanna see if anyone else has been to a more lax place.
I know a few things will fail and i plan to do most of them tomorrow but i dont want to get the oop back and have 10 fail checks due to cracks or little things like that.

if theres a lot of issues and you dont want to fix anything then make a WTB thread on kijiji and you will find someone who will pass it without even looking at it. theres a few local shops which respond to those postings on kijiji

worth a shot for sure

There's an expiry on the form 1. Call RIV and make sure everything is kosher

Where is the car from ?

You need an RIV inspection if it hasnt been registered in Canada. Much more complicated than just an OOP.

Did you check the door jam for a Canadian RIV sticker? If it was originally a US car.

Just needs an oop it's from japan

you will need the form 1, export certificate and the bill of sale
form 1 does NOT expire

hopefully it was very cheap lol, assuming the seller ran away? You should contact AMVIC, maybe they can do something about this..

Im looking into that, thanks for the idea id never heard of them.

The cars getting the oop tomorrow so hopefully everything goes smoothly. Ive put alot of my own time into it just trying to get things ready.
