    Well, it turns out it's too good to be true! I took the VIN number down and did a history check on the truck... It turns out it needs a MVI, that's one big headache I have no desire to get into with a truck this big. It'll cost me a lot in addons to pass the inspection, I'd rather keep the kind of money I'll need for that and put it into my GTO.
    What's an MVI?

    It's a Motor Vehicle Inspection. The British Columbia government is extremely strict with them and only a handful of shops are dealt the right to perform them, if they slip up and go easy on the vehicle an officer called a DOT road side inspector sees the vehicle, looks it over, and will pick it apart like crazy. If he sees the vehicle unfit to be on the road, he will punch the VIN number in, see when it was last inspected and where, if anything is suspicious about it the shop that did the inspection can be given a very hefty fine and possibly be faced with closure.

    Because of all that a simple thing like a tear in the seat can cause a vehicle to fail the inspections... And on a first glance, there's a lot more than just a torn seat that I could see on that truck lol.
