OCBA - Buying from a licensed dealer

Buying from a licensed dealer

Buying from a dealer is usually safer than buying at private sale. If there is a dispute over previous ownership of the vehicle or any finance previously owing, then in most cases, the vehicle dealer, not you, will have to bear any losses.

When you buy from a licensed second-hand vehicle dealer there is an implied condition in the contract that the dealer has the right to sell the vehicle and that there are no encumbrances on the vehicle.
