Trade
or private sale?
All adverts should clarify whether the car is offered for sale
by a trader or offered as a private sale. For adverts placed
on the V8 website:
| By
"trade sale" we mean a car offered for sale
by either an individual as a sole trader or an individual
acting on behalf of a commercial business, or by a commercial
business. |
| By
"private sale" we mean a car offered for
sale by the present owner who has owned the car as an
enthusiast. |
We
feel this distinction is desirable, not least for any Sale of
Goods Act implications in the UK. |
Private
sale may be a trader
Some small-scale dealers like to pose as private sellers
so when you first call them to follow up an advertisement it
is worth just asking about the “car”. Then, if they
are selling more than one car as many dealers often do, they
may be forced to respond by asking “which one?” -
which will give them away! |
