Last Saturday March 8th, W5 and the APA teamed up to expose the ugly side of the Canadian used car business. The show was titled “a bad road trip” and they examined the legitimacy and safety of cars being sold to hard working unsuspecting Canadians.    Cars that have been written off in accidents, completely totaled, were being rebuilt and sold to Canadian families as safe vehicles!

Mario continues to write to TC- RIV - Minister Cannon - receives email from Transport Canada that contradicts what the RIV is saying - read the latest email.  Can you all email Minister Cannon - let’s get this last car out of the garage - we were all succesful in December but not for Mario.  He followed all the rules.

 The list changed February 6, 08.  Maybe some of you would have words to describe what is happening?   Transport Canada can only say!!

The main differences are:

Section 3 Suzuki

Section 4    Funeral Cars & Limos.

Section 5   

Nissan Murano 2009 is Admissible!  I guess Nissan is overstocked!

Toyota changes as well

Here is a list comparison:

The RIV continues to change the VAFUS lists without regard to consumers.  BMW, MB, Volvo are all off the list. Members on this website and on Edmunds forums are extremely disatisfied.  Many want action.  The matter is getting worse week afer week - so CWB is prepared to assist at putting together a team of volunteers to go after the RIV/TC.  We will have to apply pressure like we’ve never done before.  If you have courage, determination and like teamwork please join the team.  Send an email to Bob or Serge
