0f
satisfactory quality
- it must meet the
standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable,
bearing in mind the way it was described, how much it cost and any
other relevant circumstances. This covers, for example, the
appearance and finish of the car, its safety and its durability.
The car must be free from defects, except when they were pointed
out to you by the seller;
as
described
- a car said to have 'one
careful lady owner' shouldn't turn out to have three previous
owners, all males under 22;

reasonably
fit for any normal purpose
- it should get you from A to B - and for any other purpose that
you specify to the seller - for example, towing a caravan. These
rights are not affected by any mechanical breakdown insurance
(often sold by dealers if the manufacturer's warranty has run
out), guarantee or warranty giving additional protection. If you
inspect the car, or someone does so on your behalf, the dealer is
not liable for any faults which should have been uncovered by the
inspection. It's a good idea to get a description of the vehicle's
condition from the dealer. Ask whether there is a pre-sale
inspection checklist. |
