Sellers of used cars usually include information about car defects in fine print in the purchase and sale agreement (SPA). Automotive lawyer Lev Voropaev told Motor magazine about this.
“In the sales contract, sellers usually write in very small print that the car already has many defects after an accident. It was seriously renovated or the main units were replaced. The mileage is indicated as twisted,” said the lawyer.
At the same time, the DCT includes a clause according to which the buyer confirms that he is familiar with the technical condition of the car and has no complaints about the identified defects. It is difficult to challenge such conditions, especially in transactions with individuals. Although in judicial practice there has been a tendency to protect the rights of buyers when purchasing a car from legal entities, the lawyer noted.
Voropaev also said that special caution should be exercised if a twisted mileage is suspected: it is often impossible to establish the real mileage value. This makes it especially important to carefully review the contract before signing to avoid purchasing a vehicle that is unroadworthy.
Earlier, a lawyer explained whether it is worth driving into oncoming traffic if an accident has blocked the road.
