Lol so many self proclaimed experts here.. you can get cars in Ontario with massive carproofs on them just as easily as stuff in Quebec. Difference is though there is more choice to chose from in Ontario off lease and lots of stuff will have higher trim packages. The majority of our inventory comes from Ontario. But you just automatically cut into your margins with transport/inspection... It is what it is.
Ontario has just as many auction Queens as Quebec does. Want to see the junk being sold on TradeRev or LiveBloc most days in Brampton or Oakville?

Except that in the Province of Quebec, laws are different, and allows them to do things like happened to the OP. Also I have seen many cars with salvage title go through quebec title system and become a clean title. Quebec is also the capital for stolen cars, so some of them end up with new titles as well. As I stated earlier, I love Montreal and Quebec, but am very careful if looking at a car from there. Not to mention, their winters are also much harsher and cars driven year round do show more wear, same as Alberta cars.

You have seen nothing. It's very difficult to plate branded cars in Quebec. One incorrectly dotted I and you have to resubmit the entire dossier. Maybe 20 years ago it was the wild west but the last 10-15 they have really cracked down.
Stop talking out of your *** already and get the "Ontario is better" stick from out of your ***

you have no idea what you are talking about. First off any business can pull what happened to the OP. Quebec , Ontario anywhere. Quebec capital for stolen cars? Not even close, Ontario outranks us. This is published data from stats can. Sketchy **** happens everywhere there is so much volume in car sales.

I am not talking "out of my ***", there are laws in Ontario against false advertising and bait and switch. OP stated that those laws don't exist in Quebec.
I also know of a few dealers that operate in Quebec and do funny stuff with titles.
I did google it and it appears the last few years thefts have declined in Quebec which was for a long time the capital of car thefts,so I'll give you that but it is still high. Convince yourself that buying a car in Quebec is the same as any other province, but you won't convince me. And I have bought many cars from all over, including Quebec.

wonder why you are so sensitive Mr Gregster on this subject. Hit too close to home?

I have been burned on two Ontario CPO cars. I think we can all agree that the used car industry is full of BS no matter the location.
But I only blame myself for not doing PPI’s.
When I was managing my families Service Ontario we would get many people registering cars from Quebec. And the ones with issues were almost always bargain hunters who simply got blinded by a “good deal”, then found out the hard way why the car was cheaper than a comparable car in Ontario. Like everything in life if it sounds to good to be true it usually is.

i think that's just one hand not talking to the other.. you have to credit the tech for pointing it out, that's his role, he caught it and he noted it on his report... Whether the business office reports that is another discussion as you say , they have to look at the bigger picture.

Jesus Christ, can we stop bickering over which province has more scams? Unless anyone's gone through the effort of doing an extensive study that documents the relative rates of attempted fraud, everything is speculation. I lived in Toronto for 15 years, live in Montreal now. There are things to like and dislike about both cities. The above situation absolutely could happen in Ontario so it's not a 'Quebec' thing - Toronto has bunch of bodyshop insurance scams so even if there are more bait and switch pricing scams in Quebec, it all nets out in my view.
