lien check.
icbc does not offer it. they just offer registration and claim history.
you can do it through your insurance broker or carproof (its like a canadien carfax)
^also need to remember, lien follows cars.. not owners.. so it is a good idea to check

It's either $65 now or risk having ur car taken in the future. But it's up to you and how much of a risk you want to take.
