Since I am fairly new to the province I was wondering how this works in Alberta. I am told by a few companies that you need to get a safey inspection when you purchase a car that is 10 years or older.
If this is the case, how does anybody ever buy an older car without all the hassle? I ask this because I just wanted to pick up something cheap for the winter but I know that the repairs stemming from an inspection may cost more than the winter beater itself. Does anybody have any experience or recommendation? Do you buy a used car conditionally to a satisfactory inspection?
