Buying a new car is normally a fairly straightforward process. But if you’re buying an used one Jose Silva World Baseball Classic Jersey , all the information you require will not be in a shiny brochure, so you will need to ask some key questions.

Types of used car

Second-hand cars can be described in a number of ways:

* Used
* Nearly-new
* Second-hand
* Pre-owned
* Ex-lease etc

But the one thing that all of these have in common is that someone has used the car before. For this reason, you need to be very vigilant and well informed about the car’s condition.
Your rights

The two main sources of second-hand cars are:

* Traders, generally referred to as “dealers”, who buy and sell cars as part of their business
* Private sellers Alex Pelayo World Baseball Classic Jersey , who generally have only one car to sell, and are not selling it in the course of a business

This is a key difference, because your rights are not the same if you are buying from a dealer or a private individual.

Usually, if you are buying from a dealer, you are fully protected by consumer laws Rigoberto Beltran World Baseball Classic Jersey , which also give you the right to take legal action if your rights are not upheld.

But the same consumer rights do not exist when you are buying a car privately, as the seller is not acting in the course of a business. So you need to be more careful and well informed before purchasing a car in this way.
Your responsibilities

Buyers and sellers also have responsibilities:

* Buyer’s responsibilities:

Buyers have a responsibility to protect themselves by checking the relevant facts before entering any contract. As long as you ask the right questions, note the answers or get them in writing, and know your rights, you should have the tools at your disposal to challenge a seller if things go wrong
* Seller’s responsibilities:
Remember that it is an offense under both road traffic legislation and the Sale of Goods & Supply of Services Act to sell a car to a consumer which is not roadworthy

Sale of Goods Act

The Sale of Goods & Supply of Services Act also requires that any car sold by a dealer – whether new or used – should be:

* Of merchantable quality (this means a reasonable Nick Leyva World Baseball Classic Jersey , acceptable quality given what was said about it and taking into account the age and history of the vehicle)
* Fit for the purpose it is intended to be used for
* As described

Misleading information

It is an offense under consumer legislation to provide false or misleading information to consumers in commercial transactions.

A car dealer must not give misleading material information in relation to any aspect of the car, including its history (such as if the car has been in a crash or “clocked”), its specification, the need for any repair or other work required and so on.

A dealer must also not give misleading information about themselves, such as information about:

* Any after-sales assistance they will provide
* Any approval Edgar Gonzalez World Baseball Classic Jersey , authorization or endorsement they have
* A code of practice

Withholding, omitting or concealing any material information regarding the main characteristics of a car is also an offense.

These offenses amount to added protection for consumers if they already know what questions to ask.

Remember, though, that a private seller cannot be expected to know as much about the car as a dealer would, and consumer protection legislation generally does not cover private sales.

But the seller is still required to give you accurate information to any questions that you ask. There is no obligation on the private seller to give up any information freely Japhet Amador World Baseball Classic Jersey , so its good to know which questions to ask in the first place. Our booklet on buying a car (see below) includes advice on these questions, and a list for buyers to check.
If something goes wrong

If you have a genuine grievance after buying a car, whether new or used, you should first complain to the seller to see what remedy they will offer. The car may still be under warranty and they may be willing to repair the fault or offer compensation.

If you bought from a trade dealer, find out if they are a member of a recognized trade association such as SIMI (the Society of the Irish Motor Industry). Then check if the association has a scheme or code of conduct to help resolve the problem Alex Verdugo World Baseball Classic Jersey , or can supply information on how it deals with complaints.

If no arbitration scheme or code of conduct exists, you may wish to take legal action, which could involve hiring a solicitor.

For claims against a dealer of up to ?2,000, you might think about taking the matter through the Small Claims Court for a mininium fee. This is a relatively inexpensive Chris Roberson World Baseball Classic Jersey , fast and easy way for buyers to resolve some types of dispute without having to use a solicitor.

Remember though that a consumer cannot take a case in the Small Claims against another consumer, so this is only an avenue if you bought from a dealer rather than from a private individual.

If a private seller has given you information which they know to be untrue and you are out of pocket as a result, you may be able to take legal action in another court against them. In this situation you may need to seek legal advice.
Clocked cars

“Clocking” is the practice of changing a car’s genuine odometer reading of the car, generally by reducing it, in order to make the car seem a more attractive proposition. The odometer is a “clock” which tells you how many miles or kilometers the car has done.

According to Sustainable Energy Ireland Sebastian Elizalde World Baseball Classic Jersey , the average annual mileage on privately owned petrol cars in Ireland is about 10,000 miles (16,000 km), or about 15,000 miles (24 Luis Juarez World Baseball Classic Jersey ,000 km) for diesels. So if the car has a mileage substantially
