Shouldn't be too big of a deal. If you can get back to the guy who you traded with and get a Bill of Sale, showing the trade value or what you paid for the sled, VIN number, plate number, make, year and model. You will have to register the sled and pay the PST. Go to ICBC where you register the sled and tell them the story. ICBC will then have you go to the RCMP office with the sled where they will check your VIN number on the bill of sale against the VIN number on the sled. They will then run a stolen vehicle check on the machine. This is a free check. No charge to you but may take a day or two. If it comes back as not stolen, they give you a form indicating it is clean. You take this form back to ICBC and they'll transfer the registration into your name. At that time you'll have to pay the PST. Not sure how the tax thing works if you traded straight across(?) Then you can go to an insurance outlet and get it insured. If you have a Capri Insurance outlet near you I'd highly recommend them. Good Luck

Sorry, one more thing . You'll also need a transfer of ownership paper completed and signed by the guy you traded with.
