COMMUNITY DISCUSSION Used cars
South Africa used car dealer says the car was old — does that automatically defeat my rights?
No. The National Consumer Commission has pursued used-car cases where dealers argued the buyer knowingly bought an older vehicle. Age can matter to reasonable-quality expectations, but it does not automatically remove Consumer Protection Act rights. Keep the advert, sale agreement, roadworthy information, repair reports and messages. Official source: National Consumer Commission. Guide: https://getinstantlaw.com/za/used-car-problems
