USED CAR DEALER
Don't forget to run VIN Check before negotiating because once you buy the car
you can not return it again. If you go to a dealer for a used car, look
for a "Buyers Guide" sticker on the window of each car. The Buyers Guide,
required by the Federal Trade Commission's Used Car Rule, gives you important
information and suggestions to consider. The Buyers Guide tells you:
- Whether the vehicle comes with
a warranty and, if so, what specific protection the dealer will provide; Whether the vehicle comes with
no warranty ("as is") or with implied warranties only; That you should ask to have
the car inspected by an independent mechanic before you buy; That you should get all promises
in writing; and
- What some of the major problems
are that may occur in any car.
The Used Car Rule requires dealers to
post the Buyers Guide on all used vehicles, including automobiles, light-duty
vans, and light-duty trucks. "Demonstrator" cars also must have Buyers
Guides. But Buyers Guides do not have to be posted on motorcycles and
most recreational vehicles. Individuals selling fewer than six cars a
year are not required to post Buyers Guides.
Whenever you purchase a used car from a dealer, you should receive the
original or an identical copy of the Buyers Guide that appeared in the
window of the vehicle you bought. The Buyers Guide must reflect any changes
in warranty coverage that you may have negotiated with the dealer. It
also becomes a part of your sales contract and overrides any contrary
provisions that may be in that contract. There is no more cooling off
period for buying car from dealer so don'ta take a risk of buying a uesd
car before you run VIN Check
PRIVATE PARTY
Many cars are available privately,
such as through classified ads in a newspaper. If you are shopping for
a car from an individual, you should understand several differences between
sales made by individuals and by dealers.
VIN Check will help you reduce the risk of buying a lemon car.
- Private sellers generally are
not covered by the Used Car Rule and therefore, do not have to use the
Buyers Guide. However, you still can follow the Guide's suggestions. For
example, you can refer to the list of potential problems displayed on
the back of the Buyers Guide shown in this brochure. In addition, ask
the seller whether you may have the vehicle inspected by your own mechanic
and whether you may take it on a test drive.
- Private sales usually are not
covered by the "implied warranties" of state law. So, a private sale probably
will be on an "as is" basis, unless your contract with the seller specifically
provides otherwise. If you have a written contract, the seller must live
up to the promises stated in the contract. Depending on its age, the car
also may be covered by a manufacturer's warranty or a separately purchased
service contract. However, warranties and service contracts may not be
transferable, or there may be limitations or costs for a transfer. Before
you purchase the car, ask the seller to let you examine any warranty or
service contract on the vehicle.
- Many states require that dealers,
but not individuals, ensure that their vehicles will pass state inspection
or carry a minimum warranty before they offer them for sale. Ask your
state's attorney general's office or a local consumer protection office
about the requirements on individuals and on dealers in your state.
