• Damaged car

I have purchased a car Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 classified in Gaadi.com. The seller has cheated me when i bring the car home, i found that the car is damaged & met with a major accident. Many parts were replaced. But the seller said that the car never met with an acccident. He also tells lie that he is the second owner but i found that he is the third owner. Can you please suggest me what to do. He also tells lie about the insurance. It is only the third party insurance taht s done.

issue legal notice to seller for refund of money paid by you for purchase of the car . i do hope that you have made cheque payment and you have documentary evidence to prove that seller misguided you regarding the fact that car never met with a major accident . before purchase of car you must get the car checked by a experienced mechanic . then only purchase the car

It seems that you failed to carry out due diligence before purchasing the car. It was your duty to verify prior to purchase the antecedent ownership of car. This could have been done by visiting the office of Regional Transport Officer(RTO), Chandigarh. Furthermore, it was your duty to get the car inspected by a car mechanic before purchasing it.

If you have any document wherein and whereunder the seller gave it to you in writing that car never met with an accident before and also that he is the second and not third owner of the car then you may issue a lawyer's notice to him and claim damages.

1. Look at the matter from practical point of view,

2. Whatever you are claiming as 'he has told', hs not been given in writing by him,

3. If you take up the matter legally, he will deny having ever told you the same,

4. It will be extremely difficult for you to prove that he had told you so, to get favourable order,

5. You ca send him a legal notice claming the money back to see if he returns the same.

I have perused your message, under reference.

Having purchased said car Your locus standi is as CONSUMER & your grievances deserves to be resolved under the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986; whereby you may be adequately compensated and/or get full refund of your paid amount with compensation/otherwise, also.
