Sold as seen ??

<< < (2/3) > >>

glaggs:
Even in a private sale if you sell a vehicle without declaring any known  faults you are liable if subsequently the vehicle causes accident or injury. If you sell as unroad worthy and insist it is taken away on a trailer then you should be OK.

yep that's how I've always understood it as well.

Just googled this and Trading standards seem to agree as well :D

Thanks for the replys. I'm selling my Shogun and it is in perfect condition but I have always wondered what would happen if a buyer went away, thrashed the hell out of it and blew the engine, then came back saying they wanted their money back. =; =; =;

A customer always has Statutory Rights when selling anything , you can put what you like on a receipt and it means diddly squat....

dxmedia:
Sold as seen tried and tested will stand up in court -- if your a private seller, and if your not trying to hide anything.

I've been there and won. Judge declaired buyer beware and he'd tried and tested the vehicle before he bought it. I was unaware of any faults. (before having a go, I was 17 and selling my first car at the time, his daughter complained of bad brakes soon after - and low and behold a mate of mine showed me a pic of it parked in a ditch between the sale and the court (didnt see the pic till after)- seems the daugter wasn't telling daddy the whole story)

If your a trader then the trade decription act comes in and you've issues. Statutory rights again are for trade.
