Montreal woman stuck with used car she can't drive because SAAQ says last owner has unpaid fines
CTV
A Montreal woman says she is stuck with a used car that she cannot drive because the SAAQ won't transfer the registration into her name due to too many fines on the previous owner's file.
When Yenene Carey bought a used car for the first time last month, it didn't turn out to be a lemon but she definitely can't drive it either.
The grey 2010 Honda Civic she said she bought for $4,500 is being blocked by Quebec's automobile insurance board, the SAAQ, which told her the car is still registered in the previous owner's name with a large amount of unpaid traffic fines.
The SAAQ didn't tell her the amount of fines that are on the file, but said she was told by an official that "it is enough to block all transactions" with the car.
Carey said she bought the vehicle at a used car dealership in Laval on June 5 after responding to an ad on Facebook Marketplace.
The business owner is refusing to give her a refund because he said it was one of his employees who sold it to her privately and that he is not responsible.
On paper, that's not quite the case.
