OK, I found an 1988 Ford Ranger for sale a few days ago... a little hot rod project, an older gentleman owned it he wanted $500. He said i could take it for $200... So I called the Ministry of Transportation (MTO, same thing as a DMV for you americans) about getting a temporary insurence permit to drive it home.
They told me that because it was over 21 years old I, the buyer, needed to bring it to a dealership to be appraised. Wich would cost me about $300 out of my pocket BEFORE IT COULD BE SOLD TO ME!
this makes absolutely no sence at all! I bought the F150 and Trans Am with no problem, both well over 21 years old and never went to a dealership for either vehicle. Its not even because on emmisions; in Northern Ontario you dont need to get your vehicle E-tested by law.
I'm going to call back on Monday and hopefully get someone else on the line to double-check this, it makes no sence..
God I hate the MTO..
