What do you have to disclose when you trade in car?
Is there anything they can hold you liable for later?

I would imagine every dealer you go to will have a trade in document that will cover all of the above questions. If you are asked, and you lie, then yes technically you could be held liable for damages resulting.While the actual required disclosure will vary depending on a vehicle’s history and condition, a contract must include statements about any of the following conditions:
The make, model, trim level and model year of the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been used as a police vehicle or to provide emergency services.
If the vehicle has been used as a taxi or limousine.
If the vehicle has been leased (rented) on a daily basis and has not been subsequently owned by someone other than a dealer.
If any collision or incident damage to the vehicle was greater than $3,000 (and the total cost of repair if known by the dealer).
If the vehicle has been classified under the Highway Traffic Act as irreparable, salvage or rebuilt, and the most recent classification.
If the vehicle was declared a total loss by an insurer, regardless of classification under the Highway Traffic Act as irreparable or salvage.
If the vehicle has two or more adjacent panels that are not bumper panels that have been replaced.
If the manufacturer’s warranty on the vehicle has been cancelled.
If the vehicle has sustained any damage caused by fire.
If the vehicle has sustained any damage caused by immersion in liquid that has penetrated to the level of at least the interior floor boards.
If there has been structural damage or the vehicle has had repairs, replacements or alterations to the structure of the vehicle.
If the vehicle has an anti-lock braking system that is not operational.
If any of the vehicle’s airbags are missing or not operational.
If the vehicle requires repair to any of its:
Engine, transmission or power train.
Subframe or suspension.
Computer equipment.
Electrical system.
Fuel operation system.
Air conditioning.
If the contract is for the sale or lease of a new specifically identified motor vehicle (e.g., VIN is known, in stock, etc.), the maximum distance that will be shown on the odometer at time of delivery.
If the contract does not specifically identify a new vehicle (e.g., a vehicle which must be located, VIN unknown), the maximum distance that will be shown on the odometer at the time of delivery or a statement initialled by the buyer that there is no maximum.
If the contract is for the sale or lease of a used vehicle:
The total distance driven.
If the dealer cannot determine the total distance the vehicle has been driven, but can determine a distance the vehicle has been driven as of some past date, that distance and date, together with a statement that “the total distance the vehicle has been driven is believed to be higher.”
If the dealer is unable to make any type of determination as to total distance driven or as to distance driven from a past date, that “the total distance driven is unknown and may be substantially higher than the reading shown on the odometer.”
If the vehicle’s odometer is broken or faulty, has been replaced or rolled back, or is in miles.
If the vehicle is materially different from its original or advertised production specifications.
If the badge or any other indication on the vehicle relates to a different vehicle model.
If the vehicle was previously registered in a jurisdiction other than Ontario, and if so, a statement indicating which jurisdictions.
This requirement does not apply if the vehicle has since been registered in Ontario for more than seven years.
If the vehicle was recovered subsequent to being reported stolen.
A statement of any other facts that could be expected to influence the decision of a reasonable buyer or lessee to purchase or lease the vehicle on the terms disclosed in the contract.
Note: As-Is vehicles - All required disclosures (including material facts) must be made even if the vehicle is being sold as-is.

The Mazda dealership asked me to fill out and sign a form asking me similar questions to the ones above - on the day I picked up my new car. So beware if you're trying to hide something.xjesterxx wrote: ↑ Here is the answer to your question:

Will the dealer chase you down over non-disclosure? Probably not.

Since it's a taxi but not actually a taxi, I wonder how a car used for ride sharing would technically qualify.
Nope. That's why I'm on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to do I'd probably be doing it.Do you not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet

Unless it's changed in the last few weeks, using the vehicle for ride sharing does not have to be legally disclosed.death_hawk wrote: ↑ Since it's a taxi but not actually a taxi, I wonder how a car used for ride sharing would technically qualify.
It has all the qualities of a taxi, but not actually the title.
