Depends on a lot of various factors like "as is where as" that signed by both parties, anything specific you want to know!

Cupcake.Private seller--the car must have live rego and must have a WOF 1 month or less old.-I'd say on completion of sale to be safe. The only other thing is you cannot misrepresent the vehicle in any way. If you aren't comfortable with that then you must use the words AS IS WHERE ISin the advert but again cannot misrepresent it

I always thought that as is where is was kinda already implied when selling privately.
Billions of cars and indeed any other second hand goods over thousands of years have been sold without the magic words in the advert.

I was worried about selling a car and having the new buyer coming back as in the thread "buyer wants cash back" .I too thought it was buyer beware.I have noticed that alot of buyers expect everything to be perfect,but second hand means"used" not brand new.

Its getting ridiculous when people think they have come backs on second hand cars sold on an auction site.That is all.

Yes it's ridiculous, The question is is it legally binding!

Sign a contract which says something like:
Vehicle sale agreement Date (vehicle make and model) (year) registration number (rego) was purchased by (buyer) from (seller) for the sum of (value of transaction). The vehicle is accepted "as-is, where-is" Time of collection Odometer reading on collection Signed by seller and buyer
that will do sufficient arse covering from any payment issues, infringement notices or people just being retards.

Not quite right there morrisman it wont cover the op from infringements only a change of ownership will do that OP when you sell it don't let the car leave your possession until the ownership papers are changed Im speaking from experience

splinter67, yes it will, but change of ownership is obviously also required as it will prevent speeding tickets from getting sent to you in the first place.

I'd suggest the following -or a variation of it PLEASE READ terms and conditions of auction before bidding. #A bid is an UNCONDITIONAL binding decision to purchase.This means you are 100% certain it is fit for YOUR purposes. #Caveat emptor: the car will be sold "as is where is". this means that what you see is what you get! We strongly suggest you view the vehicle before bidding. #The vehicle is sold STRICTLY according to the auction description.
Id also suggest that the vehicle is NOT allowed to be uplfted untill C of O has been done The receipt is a variation on Mr XXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXRoad XXXXXXX Auckland
Vehicle details MakeXXXXX ModelXXXXX YearXXXXX Registration NumberXXXXX TraveledXXXXXkm engine sizeXXXXcc Registration expiry date21/3/2013 WoFexpiry date21/11/2012 This Item is sold under the terms and conditions of Trade Me auction XXXXXXX It is sold on the clear understanding it is in as is where is condition.
