Claiming the money paid for buying a car after being deceived

Hello,

I purchased a second-hand car from a direct owner in Dubai. The owner claimed that there is no accident and only small paint in the car. I trusted him and purchased the car at the price he asked for.

After driving the car, the car had a problem and I went to the mechanic. The mechanic informed me post-inspection that the car has been in a major accident and it has been fully repainted.

When I went to an authorized dealer thereafter, they told me that the value of the car is 60,000 AED due to the damage. However, I purchased it for 115,000 AED.

The car owner did fraud with me. It is not safe to drive the car now and it looks risky to drive.

Could you please help me here if I can go to the court and claim my money from the owner?

I would appreciate your assistance.

Thanks!

Hi questioner,

The first thing you should do is to request the authorized dealer to prepare a report which shows all the details of the vehicle, its valuation, and the reasons for devaluation.

The report shall have all possible details in it.

Do you have any written proof that the seller mentioned the price as AED 115000, and confirmed that the vehicle is in good condition?

Kindly contact me via phone or email for further assistance.
