Such clauses might specify that:
- The contract is subject to and conditional upon the purchaser obtaining own finance to complete the purchase.
- Vehicle to be delivered by (insert date) otherwise contract will be cancelled and deposit refunded.
- The contract is subject to a mechanical inspection to the purchaser's satisfaction.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle from a licensed dealer, the contract should include Form 5 particulars (or Form 6 for motorcycles). Form 5 particulars include details such as:
- a description of the vehicle
- costs for any additional items (e.g. accessories, registration, stamp duty)
- payment details (noting any deposit/trade in amounts), and
- who to contact for repair of defects.
The contract should also include information about your cooling off rights.
The dealer should provide you with an exact copy of the Form 1 (Section 16 Notice) that was displayed on the vehicle, and the Form 3 (Notice to Purchaser). The Form 1 gives a description of the vehicle and its price, the last owner, the dealer and information about duty to repair. The Form 3 confirms you as the actual purchaser of the vehicle and is a certification by the dealer that the information in the Section 16 Notice (Form 1) is correct. (For motorcycles, Form 2 and 4 apply).
Read and make sure you understand the form and check that the sale details and costs are correct before you sign it. Never sign an incomplete contract, and remember to keep a copy of what you sign. If you are unsure about anything in the contract, DON'T SIGN IT.
