Ontario's car-buying framework is built around OMVIC, the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council. OMVIC regulates every dealer and salesperson in the province, sets the rules on pricing, disclosures, and contracts, and runs the Compensation Fund that backs every registered-dealer transaction.
These twenty articles walk through the OMVIC consumer-protection framework topic by topic — all-in pricing, mandatory disclosures, curbsiders, odometer fraud, leasing, extended warranties, the complaint process, the 90-day cancellation window, and more — translated into what each one actually means when you're shopping for a Honda at a registered store in Vaughan.
All articles are original Henry-voice writing, grounded in OMVIC's published pages. Use this index as the buyer-side reference. I'll publish the articles on hondabyhenry.ca when you're ready.

How to use this index
If you are early in your shopping process, start with the OMVIC foundations: all-in pricing, mandatory disclosures, registered dealers, and the curbsider warning signs. If you already have a deal on paper, go straight to the financing, leasing, cancellation, and complaint-process articles. If you are trading in, the trade-in and vehicle-delivery pieces will save you the most friction on the day.
Every article links to other relevant pieces in the series. None of it is legal advice — for a transaction decision, always confirm current rules directly with OMVIC at omvic.ca or 1-800-943-6002.
