Bought A Classic Pup? Here's What To Do...

leading lawyer is urging buyers of classic cars to be wary of traders using the term ‘sold as seen with no warranty given or implied’.

Andrew Leakey, head of the Dispute Resolution department at national law firm, Stephensons, wants classic car owners to know that this statement is not as iron-clad – or, indeed, water-tight – as many believe it to be.

He says: ‘Independent warranties cannot affect your entitlement enshrined under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 when you buy from a trader. The statement “Sold as seen with no warranty given or implied” does not give the trader a get-out clause. The court will also consider the purpose of a car sale. If a vehicle was intended for spares and not for road worthiness, a court would not require a trader to bring it up to running standard.’
