Does a dealer have to provide a Used Vehicle Information Package if I buy a used car?
No. The intention of the Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) was to protect consumers from buying a car with a lien on it from a private individual or from a curbsider. Even if you are buying from a registered dealer it is a good idea to get one. The dealer may offer to provide it, or you can obtain one from the Licensing Offices of the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) for $20. In addition to information on any lien, you’ll find who the previous owners of the vehicle were.
