If you are buying your first vehicle, then you will need to find an insurance company licensed in your province that has a policy that includes third-party liability for $200,000. Once your vehicle is fully insured, you will need to make sure that you carry the liability insurance card while you drive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1722 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/631\/2019\/08\/11132603\/Carcontract_b.jpg\" alt=\"Image of a man and a woman shaking hands in an automotive dealership\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/631\/2019\/08\/11132603\/Carcontract_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/631\/2019\/08\/11132603\/Carcontract_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Register Your Used Vehicle<\/h3>\n<p>Only after you have obtained insurance can you take your vehicle to the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to register your vehicle. In order to register your vehicle, you will need to have the following documents:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Driver\u2019s License<\/li>\n<li>Proof of Purchase<\/li>\n<li>Original Vehicle Permit<\/li>\n<li>Safety and Emissions Test Certificates<\/li>\n<li>Completed Used Vehicle Inspection Package Forms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you have completed your registration, you will be able to purchase license plates and receive your validation stickers.<\/p>\n<h3>Maintain Your Used Vehicle<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, you will want to make sure to find a trusted auto mechanic who has experience working with the make and model vehicle you purchased. This step does not need to be completed with as much haste as the prior two steps. However, we encourage you to complete this step relatively quickly in case an issue arises with your vehicle.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stop23.ca\/blog\/what-are-the-advantages-of-buying-a-used-vehicle\/\">What are the Advantages of Buying a Used Vehicle?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next Steps After Buying a Used Car Have you recently purchased a pre-owned vehicle?
