How not to lose the purchased car by making a mistake in the sales contract
When concluding a contract for the sale of a vehicle, the presence of a third party - that is, a competent lawyer - is not required. And since no one controls the process of filling out the papers, motorists often make gross mistakes, which can subsequently deprive the buyer of the car or the seller of money. What you should pay special attention to when signing the DCT, the AvtoVzglyad portal will tell you.
Alas, but running into an unscrupulous seller or buyer who ardently wants to get rich at someone else's expense, these days is as easy as shelling pears. And okay, when it comes to the transfer of relatively inexpensive goods - furniture, smartphones, clothes. A completely different matter is real estate or vehicles, for the purchase of which many citizens have been saving for years.
When transferring the right to own a car, the parties sign a contract of sale. As you know, the agreement is drawn up in a simple written form and does not require certification by a notary. At first glance, this is good, because the participants in the transaction save time and money. But at the same time, not really, because the risks of being in the "flight" due to ignorance of the legal subtleties are quite high.
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
And how can you protect yourself from possible losses if you are as good at jurisprudence as you are at the history of Liechtenstein? First, insist that only reliable information is indicated in the contract. If the seller tearfully asks you to write in the agreement not the actual price of the car, but a fictitious one - in order to "slope" from an impressive tax - calmly refuse. Go ahead and make it worse for yourself.
Let's say a few days after the purchase you find some serious technical "jambs". After reviewing Article 450 of the Civil Code, decide to return the goods to the seller - he, of course, will refuse to voluntarily terminate the transaction, and you will have to go to court. Themis will take your side and oblige the merchant to pay the full cost of the car. He will pay - those 10 rubles that are spelled out in the contract.
Cunning Intermediary
By the way, about negligent sellers. Feel free to ask the current owner to show your passport or, say, a driver's license before signing the agreement. It is important to make sure that you are dealing with the real owner of the vehicle and not a reseller. By skipping this step, the risks of losing the opportunity to return the purchase if something goes wrong will increase dramatically.
INTENTIONAL MIRROR
Carefully and repeatedly check the passport data of the machine, which are included in the contract of sale. The vehicle identification number (VIN) must be written in full, not just the last seven digits, and the year of manufacture must correspond to the real one. These seemingly innocent blots can serve as a pretext for annulment of the agreement.
Better yet, go to a meeting with the seller or buyer with a ready-made contract, which was filled in advance by your trusted lawyer. So the risks of being deceived are significantly minimized.
