Buying a Car - How to find a car to buy? - Where to look for a car?
We suggest you deal with a licensed motor dealer as they must comply with Government legislation, which provides the consumer with some protection. The protection includes:
| Guarantee clear title |
| Implied warranties, which can be enforced if the vehicle is defective. An implied warranty means the goods must be of merchantable quality, fit for purpose and match a sample) |
If You Buy Privately
You can choose to buy privately however you have no protection under the Fair Trading Act if something goes wrong. The only recourse you have is private legal action. You must make sure you get clear title to the vehicle. This can be done by obtaining a REVS certificate ON THE DAY OF THE SALE.
Where to look for a car if you live near a regional centre? You can look through:
| Newspapers |
| The Yellow Pages |
