I have a bike that I really want to get about 3 hours away from me.
I went over to take a look at his place. Everything seemed to be in working order, and price is reasonable compared to other bikes in GTA.
The only thing is that the seller has a lien on it.
I've done some research online and just want to get some ideas for safest way to do it. On GTAM, latest thread I found was back in 2012.
The process I'm thinking:
(1) Sign UVIP
(2) Sign ownership transfer (green paper)
(3) Sign a separate Bill of Sale that I drafted to acknowledge that the seller will be paying off the loan within 5 days. Else, the vehicle sale will be nullified.
(4) Drive to the bank with him
(5) Give cash to him for deposit into his account (his account is Scotia, but lender is National Bank, and no National Bank branch around)
(6) Have him call up the lender and confirm that the amount owed is taken out of his account. I'll be listening on the call while it's on speaker phone.
(7) Head over to Service Ontario and get a "T" sticker after arranging insurance.
(8 ) Ride home
(9) Get safety done around my place.
(10) Go to Service Ontario and get it registered under my name
Is there anything I'm missing?
Few things I'm not clear on:
- Supposedly the lender is supposed to process it within 30 days and can do it online. Has anyone dealt with National Bank?
- By the time UVIP is printed off, it'll have lien on it, but I'm reading that MTO might advise you not to make purchase, but won't stop you from registering the bike. Some articles say that I can't register with lien on it.
- How will I know that the lien is cleared (I heard of PPSR, but is it one-time check or can I check against the VIN multiple times - ie. is fee per search or per VIN)?
Thanks for your wisdom in advance, GTAM.
