That's some handy info. I work in a mechanic shop (not in the back though), I would also suggest checking with the registry with the vehicle identification number (VIN) to make sure there are no leins on the car and the last place it was registered. It will have to undergo an out of province vehicle inspection if it was not previously registered in your province, I'm not sure about other provinces, but I know the Alberta one is quite particular. The registry can also tell you how many previous owners the car had (as long as they were in Canada I believe). And the status of the vehicle, such as if it is a write off and has been, or requires repair (which would also require a salvage inspection if one had not already been done).

Drive on a highway. Take it over 100km/h and make sure the steering wheel doesn't shake back and forth. And make sure the steering wheel is straight wen going straight
