Hey all, i'm just wondering what the deal is with buying a defected car? Illegal or not? car is out of rego btw If one is bought, can the new owner clear the defect? or must the original owner.. this may change state to state, not sure though? but im in SA. Soo, whats the deal? cheers This post has been edited by Oscar: Sep 21 2009, 02:17 AM --------------------  |

It'll be put into the police system, so next time they run his plates it will come up and most likely pull him over and check. |

Good question about SA laws though? I always thought it was up to the owner of the car  Only a warning, but he got defect form? How does that work.. |

(no points or fine- was just told to fix it within 21 days i think it was) and was given a self decleration to send back to say it had been done next time it would be a defect- but there won't be a next time  how does that not work ????

once it is handed over its their responsibility to fix the defect and you have to sell it without rego saying as is then out of hands |

Otherwise how would you sell a track, drag or rally car? Check the SA transport website, im sure it will have info on whats needed when selling a car... |

It isn't illegal as such but if it comes up you get in alot of trouble unregistered or not. The vehicle must be cleared of the defect prior to sale if not and you get caught out prepare to get your ass raped. The only time you can get away with it is if the vehicle will never be registered again e.g. written off or turned into a track car or something. But even then you must send in the defect with proof that it has been deregistered prior to when the defect needed to be cleared and they then flag that VIN number so if it is registered again, hello little knock on your door. |
