Trade
or private sale?
All adverts should clarify whether the car is
offered for sale by a trader or offered as a private sale. For adverts placed
on the V8 website:
| By "trade sale"
we mean a car offered for sale by either an individual as a sole trader or an
individual acting on behalf of a commercial business, or by a commercial business. |
| By "private
sale" we mean a car offered for sale by the present owner who has owned
the car as an enthusiast. | We
feel this distinction is desirable, not least for any Sale of Goods Act implications
in the UK. | Private
sale may be a trader
Some small-scale dealers
like to pose as private sellers so when you first call them to follow up an advertisement
in a magazine or elsewhere it is worth just asking about the “car”.
Then, if they are selling more than one car as many dealers often do, they may
be forced to respond by asking “which one?” - which will give them away! |
