Selected Cars for Selected Customers

An honest seller is someone who has nothing to hide and acts in this way:

For me it’s a habit!!

1. Sale contract;
2. State of use;
3. Warranty contract;
4. Mileage certification;
5. Sale invoice;
6. Service car booklet in chronological order;
7. Copy of vehicle tax or its suspension;
8. Double keys.

Seller’s obligations:

Warranty is compulsory and cannot be refused according to Law.
Every different agreement, limitation or exclusion from the seller has to be invalidated according to Law.
Legal warranty is free! You don’t have to pay for it!

Conventional guarantee:

If retailers want to give a different type of guarantee this can only be considered as a further warranty to the legal one, so it cannot in any case narrow consumer’s rights, it can only BROADEN them!

If the retailer assures you more than what is said in the legal warranty, paying you with a refund – such as an insurance premium for example -  it is up to you to decide whether to pay this price or not in order to be better guaranteed.

Used car purchase by a private citizen:

The regulation in the Consumer Code does not take into account the buying and selling between private citizens, being the latest governed by the current laws of the  Civil Code  n. 1490 and following.

The car sold must be without hidden defects and no prejudicial circumstances regarding your purchase must be unstated ( if, for example, your car is damaged).

Law n. 1490 Warranty regarding the defects of the thing sold:

“The seller must guarantee that the thing sold is exempt from defects which can turn it not to be appropriate for what it is intended to. He should also guarantee that these defects do not lower its value in a considerable way.”

Law n. 1229:

“The agreement through which a warranty is excluded or narrowed does not come into effect if the seller has kept secret the defects of the thing sold.”
