Hello!! I am super excited to say that I am buying myself a used 2014 Summit X 800!!
#1) The 6 just doesn't quite cut it anymore, and #2) WHY THE HECK NOT!!

I've never bought used before, so I'm not too sure about the tax, or those new ICBC rules for off-road vehicles... So what do I need to know! Any tips? I live in BC and the sled is in BC too. THANKS~

Private sale you'll pay 12% at time of registration. Dealer sale you'll pay 12% at time of purchase. Registration fee is $48 one time charge per owner.

It seems like and it is a rip off paying the 12% tax but that's what it is.

The money goes into public coffers to pay for roads , schools, hospitals etc. so "they" is actually you. :)

So, is this 12% an HST? Cause if it isn't, there should be no way that the province should be able to collect GST twice or more.
I'm sorry.... I don't know the answer to your question. .

It is bull that they can double dip on taxes, but thankfully taxes will be the last thing I'm thinking of once I get this baby home!!

Thanks for all the help guys! Time for a ROAD TRIP!
