The car sales contract is a legally binding contract. Before signing it, make sure that you read it and if in doubt, raise any questions prior to signing it.
Important: If you have signed contracts to buy a new car with more than one trader, you may have to buy more than one car.
Points to remember before signing a car sales agreement
- You should never sign a blank car sales contract
- You should never sign a car sales contract that is incomplete
- Always insist that all costs are clearly listed
- Do not sign the contract if a delivery date or deadline is not specified
- Do not sign the contract if the contract does not specify the color or any other particulars of the vehicle, whether standard or extra
The Law of Consumer guarantees
Buyers have additional statutory rights under national ‘consumer guarantees’ ascribed in the Australian Consumer Law. It is important that you know that whether or not there is a warranty or extended warranty from the manufacturer or dealer, the car sales agreement or contract cannot exclude those rights. The sale of both new cars and used vehicles come under the Law. Additionally, the cars must be bought from a dealer or manufacturer on or after 1 January 2011.
Note: The Law does not cover vehicles bought at auction or once-off from a private seller
Car Sales Agreements Terms
The prescribed terms and conditions generally include the following key terms:
• A copy of the contract must be given to the buyer at the time he or she signs the contract
• A condition that the contract does not become enforceable until after it is signed by the dealer and duly accepted by the dealer
• Detail the exact terms of any financing available
• Details on contract termination by either the consumer or the dealer
• Details on any price fluctuations before delivery and how to handle it
By law, the dealer should deliver a new vehicle within three months and a used vehicle within one month after the car sales agreement has come into effect. Otherwise the contract can be cancelled.
Note: If there are additional terms and conditions in a car sales agreement, such terms must not contradict or diminish the requirements of the prescribed terms and conditions.
