Used car bought for nearly €20,000 breaks down eight days after purchase
A report from the Latvian news site TVNET asks who is to blame when a used car bought for almost €20,000 breaks down eight days later. It notes that hidden defects can appear only after more intensive use.
A buyer purchased a used car for nearly 20,000 euros, but it broke down just eight days later. The case raises the question of who is at fault: the buyer or the seller. The Latvian news site TVNET reported on it.
The source says such cases are not unusual. A used vehicle sometimes fails suddenly shortly after it is bought.
Hidden defects
Often everything seems fine at the time of purchase and during the test drive. Hidden defects may appear only once the car starts to be used more intensively.
This is why disputes between buyers and sellers over responsibility can be complicated. The source excerpt gives no details about the specific car, the nature of the fault or what the parties did next.
