Is the seller responsible for the car faults after sale and insurance transfer?
Hello Sir/Madam,
I put an ad in one of the online portals for selling my used vehicle which I brought from a private person 4 months before. When I purchase it, the seller did not disclose to me the faults of the vehicle.
One buyer came to me seeing my advertisement and agreed for 10,750/-. While inspection at ADNOC, they found that the car is having some issues.
He agreed with me that he will take the car with the issues with a very low amount of money 3,300/-. I transferred the insurance, but could not transfer the car in his name due to RTA's short working hours in Ramadan.
Even I did not take any advance from him. Later one mechanical part got damaged. As a seller, I informed him as the buyer. Now he is saying that I have to fix it and sell him at a lower price than agreed.
The repair may cost me around AED 1,200/-. Now I don’t want to sell at this big loss and I told him the same. But he is saying that he will go to govt. authorities.
What should I do?
Please help.
You can cancel the insurance back and then cancel the deal, or else you have to suffer losses since the ownership is not transferred.
And you can look for a new buyer.
