Alberta private used car sale: what should I check before buying?

Private sales in Alberta follow a different process from purchases through an automotive business. Alberta recommends checking the seller’s ID and ownership, getting a vehicle information report, doing a lien search, considering a vehicle-history report, arranging an inspection and completing a standard bill of sale.
