How to sell uninsured car in Ontario?
My situation is as follows:
-Bought a car in Oct 2016
-Renewed sticker in Aug 2017
-Moved to a different area in Oct 2017 where I no longer needed to use the car regularly
-Oct 2017 realized that insurance was going to renew for another year, and rather than get locked in for another year, decided to cancel my renewal for Nov as I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to afford the insurance for another year. I figured I'd give it a month or so to see if my financial situation changes. Cancelled the insurance altogether to be safe as they would only let me wait 2 weeks or so before making me decide.
-Mid Nov 2017 insurance officially cancelled and car is sitting in the garage of my building, only being driven around the parking lot every few days. Still has it's license plate with a sticker valid until Aug 2018
-Dec 2017 financial situation wasn't going to change - can no longer keep the car any longer. Decide I should sell after all instead of calling and renewing w/insurance
Now I plan to sell the car as-is, since I can't drive it anywhere to get emissions testing and stuff, but with such a short time it's spent off the road I doubt it'll suddenly be deemed not road worthy or uncertifiable, so I don't want to just sell it to some scrapper for parts. Is there any way to get temporary coverage so that it can be legally test driven by prospective buyers? The only option I can think of is having a tow truck move the car, and I doubt many people are willing to do that to take it to their preferred mechanic.
Tl;dr: perfectly decent car has been off insurance for nearly 2 months but it's sitting in a garage with plate and valid sticker. How can a prospective buyer move it to get tested/test drive the car before buying
