Tough to license used trailer?

[Raycaster]

Got a good price on a used trailer and will pick up today. Its a regular old rusted trailer that needs sandblasting and a new paint job and wiring.

I'll need to go through the usual with the axles and probably replace tires.

 

Problem is that it has no ID or papers etc. and a little concerned about getting a license for it.

 

The gentleman selling it is very upfront and obviously not trying to hide anything.

 

I have his address, home number, cell number, license plate etc.

 

 

Is there a protocol when purchasing to avoid hassles?

 

Thank you.

No tought at all if its under a certain size, you only need to go to the ministry and declare it a home built trailer and they will giv eyou a plate for 30 bucks or something like that.

What size is it , and what axle is in it , you will need to know this as they will ask you

If it's been registered to him, he can go to the MTO and for $10 get a new ownership printed. Then he'll just transfer it to you and you're golden.

 

Or you can tell the MTO it's home made and they'll print off a new ownership for you.. Either way works.

Thanks guys for the heads up.

Went to MTO, they gave me a simple bill of sale to fill.

Ran the sellers plate without VIN and used a file# instead.

Once the sale is done its $10 for new ownership.

 

Sweet.
