Selling a Bike to dealership for Tax free trade in before selling privately

The safety inspection certificate is not a warranty of anything. A car or bike may pass certification today, and three days later it may need brake pads, but you can't take it back to the mechanic that performed the certification for a free brake pad replacement.
Actually, you can.
 
As above, if you bought privately you would likely "pay" between $1 and $1000, therefore you are chipping in up to $675 too much tax (and he is saving $675 in tax).


No, at MTO you pay the higher between your declared price and their wholesale price, i think its RST or something. So unless their wholesale price is that low and i put my declared UNDER it, i wont be paying that much.

No wholesale price for bikes. I've bought and sold a few for "$100".
 
can someone confirm? i was under the impression there was a wholesale and a declared value..thats what MTO girl told me...

1000 people on here will confirm it. I've never paid more than a couple hundred for a bike. Lol
 
There should be an asterisk next to this.

Cars do come with a wholesale value when up to XX years old. For instance. A year ago 2005 RSX had a wholesale value, 2002 Civic SIR did not.

If a vehicle is old enough wholesale value goes to zero, now, this is where it gets tricky. If the MTO person is a total ***** they can and will demand an appraisal to be done on the vehicle if your submitted value is below what they deem as "reasonable"

They cant do this with bikes, but cars yes. I purchased a BMW 540 with a blown transmission for $1500 six or so years ago and she wanted me to pay tax on a "deemed" value of $10,000. I told her no, the car is a parts car due to a blown transmission. She then told me to get it appraised. Screw that noise. I never transferred the car into my name and just parted it out. See the idiocracy of the government? They wont take tax on $1500, which is a fair value, as they are ****ing greedy so they got the tax on ZERO! :rolleyes:

My 95 Jeep YJ doesn't have a wholesale value either. I paid "500$" for it.
