Hi
Flood cars would most likely not be from BC, so they would need a federal or provincial inspection, or both to be first registered in BC, by ICBC.
This would then be on the record and therefore any buyer would be aware of that posibility.
If was a BC vehicle, ICBC would have a record of the claim for flood damage.

Hi
Likewise,chop shop cars need an inspection before re-sale/registering, ICBC keep a history.
Stolen or forged documents can just be checked before buying.

Hi,

We're moving back to England in a few weeks and need to sell our car. We have a Chrysler PT Cruiser 2002 with low KMs. Can anyone recommend a car dealer who buys older cars without trade ins? We are in North Van.

Many thanks
Nicky

I have a better idea than a dealer. Why not find an internet site that people who might be be moving to Canada soon read. If you post your advert in the form of a question asking for information you won't even need t pay for it.

We actually bought it from an acquaintance and we have only been advertising it for 5 days so we'll see what happens! Thanks for all the input

You dont have to pay for the classified adds here do you?

Not that anyone looks at them AFAIK, but you could post a link to the add as a sig file.

I'm glad to hear you are moving back to the UK. Even though I don't know a lot about your circumstances I think it is better for the kiddies. Life can be tough in a new country. You can always have the door open to return again.

As for the car I think you are in a good position to sell it because of the price range it will be in so it will be affordable to buyers.

Good luck!;)
