Its a good thing to get a new warrant to sell a car other than the legalities it improves the saleability

Not good enough to advertise it 'as is where is'.the buyer has to sign the receipt that they've bought it 'as is where is' otherwise the seller is responsible for any repairs required to bring it up to WOF standard.
Dealers are responsible under the Consumer Guarantees Act, so even with a new WOF.if other mechanical problems appear later, they usually have to fix them.which doesn't apply to private sellers.
Well yea I know that, if fact reading what therafter put up you need a signed reciept say that you will only drive it to the garage or place of inspection. So there you go.myself I was bought up in the era of buyer beware, This has stood me well throughout the years, but like most things nowdays most are not responsible/savey/ and like to blame others for their missgivings, and it will get worse I assure you. No responsibility, thats the new world.

Interesting to read the NZTA page- I always believed any vehicle being sold had to have a WOF less than 28 days old on it. After working in dealership workshops for 11 yrs, and we always put new WOFs on the cars- As far as I can see seems to have always been the rule. Its not about avoiding responsibilty its about selling cars in a safe condition. A WOF is not a condition check-just a safety/compliance check. There is plenty of comeback if the motor blows up through disputes tribunal.

its confusing - why does the car have to have a warrant less than a month old - doesn't the new owner just replace the warrant when due!

Any vehicle being sold needs a WOF that was issued less than 28 days ago, unless the buyer knows that the WOF was issued prior and also signs an agreement stating he/she knows of this.

Nothing confusing about it a new WOFthat is less than 28 days old absolves the selleryoufrom being responsible for WOF repairs next time around. If you can get the buyer to sign a reciept saying he bought it as is where is this will do the same. Good luck with that though.

you need to put it in writing car sold without new wof as it was signed by both party. otherwise they can take you to court after and they will be getting the court to rule for them , I know its a dumb rule , another dumb rule is the 6 month wof they should better inform people with them adds that they are responsibile fortherecar and not the wof place .

Ok, I got him to sign a form to say the WOF was over 30 days old and he buys "as is" - he was happy with that. I was fine with getting a new warrant but he was happy.
