Buyer claiming car unrwc when i sold it

[charliebrown]

Long story short, i sold my EG with rwc. now the buyer calls me 5 days after saying the wipers are broken and not his fault etc, that i sold the car to him in an unroadworthy condition... the workshop passed rwc so clearly it was working then. and it was working as i drove the car for 2 weeks AFTER getting rwc up until buyer picked up the car

what can i do about this? its fukn bullshit. do i have to prove it was working when he picked up the car and that it broke in his possession?

you do nothing about this, its his car. Unless he hasn't paid the full amount just walk away.Its his fault for not inspecting the car well enough.

Noob forum.









If you sold it with a valid rwc. And the buyer paid in full, drove off, and has xferred rego. Then dont bother. It was up to him to inspect the car when buying. Its his car now. Not your problem.

I was faced with same situation, bought a car and the hubs ended up needing replacing after not even a week of driving

I didn't message the seller, just dealt with it

Not really your issue hey. You got the rwc and its now in his name.

You dont do nothing.

Tell him the car was RWC when you checked it and he checked the car as is and bought it.

If the car had a scratch adn he came back after buying it and complained would you refund the money?

Fock no.

Same thing with the wiper.


Anyways now we know CB garage is dodgy for passing RWC with non working wipers.

Once the car's been paid for and rego's been transferred, so long as it's a private sale the seller has no obligations at all.

Unless there was some written agreement to do with what happened, you dont do anything.

And even if you did, there'd be no proof of what actually happened, and IF it does go to court (for a fkn wiper. lmzooo), it'd be the battle of bullshit artists.

Were they Spoon wipers CB?

[PHO]

Oh actually. Rego doesn't even have to be xfered. As soon as the vicroads papers are signed, its his car.

[Tai]

No its his car one both parties lodge each side of their forms

Unless you got a dodgy RWC, you're entirely in the clear.

Which cheap bastard complains about wipers??

they expect a 20yr old car to function like new....

Wipers not working? Both? More than likely he blew a fuse. Tell him to give you his bank details so you can transfer the money to fix the issue. Then transfer him 20 cents...
