Ok heres a scenario that I would welcome some views on from traders and anyone that might have experienced this.
We are about to sell some cars through our business, the cars have currently been used by family members spouses etc but are registered to the business a limited company. So to keep everything above board I intend selling them through the company, now this is not normal for us we don't usually sell cars just service and repair them. The cars in question are relatively low value £1500 -£3000 will be fully serviced and have full MOT.
As you can appreciate I am well aware of the legal position and sale and supply of goods act etc, and realise that a car can be returned in the first 6 months with a fault and we would have to prove the fault was not there at the sale time (hence the full MOT & service) if we were unwilling to rectify it.
Anyone have any experience of this, how do other traders operate with warrantys, rectification of faults etc.. Any advice would be most welcome as I want to keep the sale of these cars totally transparent and above board, as thats how we operate.
Any feedback on what our real world liabilities are would be greatfully received
Cheers
