I received the email about it being sold as well today.

When I had my dealers license, the vehicle was sold with a valid mvi unless it was sold as is. In that case it is sold without a sticker.

I'll have to take a pic of the registration form to show what I'm talking about. I guess the rules for dealers are different.

To register it or get a plate? As long as the paper is signed over to you, most won't even go in to register it till they know it has passed the mvi.

But they can be sold without a current mvi. You just have to have the mvi done and insurance to get your plate.

Look at the 'certificate of registration of a vehicle' form for your rigs. Flip it over, read the 3rd line.
Part1 Transfer of Title Certificate of Sale
"NOTE: Any vehicle required to be inspected must be approved in your name prior to sale" Then there is a check box to confirm it.



What I'm saying is that box needs to be checked, or you can't register. But the clerks know its stupid and don't back-check it, and/or their system is not capable of doing so because it would mean that the mechanic's paper inspection slips would have to be uploaded everyday to the gov't system. We know that doesn't happen. I've gotten a wink and a nod at Access to check the box, or I can't register.

Its not there for Part2 dealer's section.

Flexin - I agree with what you are saying, people do that to avoid paying the tax until they have the vehicle ready for the road.

As soon as the registration is signed by the seller, you legally own the vehicle.
When you put it in your name, (get blue registration form at Access) you have to pay the tax. So people wait.


BUT - there is also that stupid box to check and that law is basically ignored. Everyone sells cars everyday with no MVI's. That note on the registration says you can't. That's why I said its illegal, but I see now it doesn't appear to apply to dealers.

You can sell it without a sticker in a private sale as well.

This is from the Nova Scotia website.

Vehicles Purchased from a Nova Scotia Dealer
If a “new vehicle” is purchased from a licenced Nova Scotia Dealer, the buyer will receive a Motor Vehicle Inspection sticker showing a three (3) year expiry date for a “type 1 vehicle” or one (1) year expiry date for a “type 2 vehicle” from time of inspection.

If a “used vehicle” is purchased from a licenced Nova Scotia Dealer, the buyer will receive a Motor Vehicle Inspection sticker, issued within 30 days prior to the date of sale, showing a two (2) year expiry date for a “type 1 vehicle” or one (1) year expiry date for a “type 2 vehicle” from time of inspection; OR

The dealer may sell the vehicle “as is”, remove any previous Motor Vehicle Inspection sticker and complete a “Sale of Vehicle Not Safety Approved” form. If a dealer sells a vehicle not safety approved a vehicle permit may not be issued until a valid Motor Vehicle Inspection sticker is obtained in name of the buyer.

Vehicles Purchased Privately
If a "used vehicle" is purchased privately the vehicle must display a valid Motor Vehicle Inspection issued within 30 days prior to the date of sale in the name of the seller, showing a two (2) year expiry date for a “type 1 vehicle” or one (1) year expiry date for a “type 2 vehicle” from time of inspection; OR

A valid Motor Vehicle Inspection sticker must be obtained by the buyer prior to transfer; OR

The buyer may obtain a letter from the Registry of Motor Vehicles, at the time of transfer, providing an additional 10 days to obtain a valid Motor Vehicle Inspection.

However, if the seller and buyer complete a “Sale of Vehicle Not Safety Approved” form, a vehicle permit may not be issued until a valid Motor Vehicle Inspection sticker is obtained in name
