Gift of a vehicle from a family member?
It's a similar story, Dad is giving to you the family minivan so you can move your bedroom to university dorms and have something to drive around during school. Dad is going to sell you the vehicle for $1, but the SAAQ (Quebec Department of Motor Vehicles) still considers it a sale and wants you to pay vehicle sales tax on the book value of the vehicle from Dad.

If a used road vehicle is transferred between related individuals for a price that is lower than the estimated value (transaction with or without consideration), the QST is calculated on the agreed selling price.

If a used road vehicle is purchased from a dealer for less than its estimated value (because it is damaged or has been subjected to unusual wear), the QST may be calculated on the lower price as long as the purchaser, before the transaction, provides the dealer with an evaluation report prepared by an appraiser who holds a certificate of professional qualification as an automobile damage appraiser issued by the Groupement des assureurs automobiles. The dealer must keep the report, as there may be an audit at a later date.

If the purchaser pays QST on the estimated value of the vehicle, he or she may claim a refund of the QST overpaid by submitting the evaluation report (dated within 10 working days after the date of the transaction) to Revenu Québec within the prescribed time limit. The purchaser must also file a copy of form VD-60-V, Application for a Rebate (or Non-Payment) of the Québec Sales Tax (QST) on a Road Vehicle.

You're buying a vehicle from Ontario (or outside of Quebec)?

If you are buying a vehicle from our neighbours in the United States, or anywhere else in the world, it must be legally imported, and it must pass the SAAQ (Quebec Department of Motor Vehicles) mandatory mechanical safety inspection. Vehicles that are 15 yrs old or younger must not be on the hot list of vehicles not allowed in the country. In addition to obtaining the title from the seller, you will need to obtain the necessary papers from Customs Canada, and make the necessary federal safety modifications to the vehicle if required. We can tell you what needs to be done, and what requirements the vehicle might need. We offer a wide range of services in this category that includes:
-Telephone "what to do?" consultation from the search and purchase of a United States vehicle to getting the vehicle into Quebec and plated with the SAAQ (Quebec Department of Motor Vehicles)
-Telephone "operator hotline" consultation from the search and purchase of a United States vehicle to getting the vehicle into Quebec and plated with the SAAQ (Quebec Department of Motor Vehicles). With your cell phone, we will assist you all along the whole way by giving you real time instructions, as you are driving in the United States and need road direction assistance, as you are with the seller inspecting the vehicle, as you are at the local state's Department of Motor Vehicles obtaining an out-of-state permit, as you are shipping or driving the vehicle back into Canada, as you are passing thru the border with the vehicle, and as you pass the SAAQ (Quebec Department of Motor Vehicles) mandatory mechanical safety inspection.
-Need someone to hold your hands to pick up that 1967 something in California?

Essentially, this is a tour guide at the extremes, and the person that will get your precious vehicle legally into Quebec.

Modifying your car?
Before modifying a vehicle, better to know which modifications are permitted and which are prohibited.

A passenger vehicle may be modified to either improve its performance or change its appearance. The Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) has to make sure that all vehicles using the road are safe, and comply with standards set by the Highway Safety Code and attendant regulations.

Police officers have the power to intercept a modified vehicle at any time, issue a ticket for a fine or demand that the vehicle undergo an inspection at a facility acting as agent for the SAAQ. Should the agent discover illegal modifications, the vehicle owner is required to rectify the situation.

If there is any doubt, the agent can have the SAAQ ask for an engineer's report to ensure that the modifications do not compromise the stability of the vehicle nor its overall safety. The vehicle can be put back on the road once the SAAQ is satisfied it meets standards.
