STATUTORY WARRANTY

This vehicle is covered by the terms of a statutory warranty under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act 1973. The length of time the vehicle is covered under warranty is determined by the amount of money you have paid for the vehicle. If you have paid: —

·$2 000.01 to $3 999.99 (inclusive) — the warranty is for two (2) months or 3 000 km, whichever occurs first; or

·$4 000.00 or more — the warranty is for three (3) months or 5 000 km, whichever occurs first.

The warranty means that the selling dealer must repair or make good all defects which make or are likely to make the vehicle unroadworthy or unserviceable. The repair should make the vehicle roadworthy and in a reasonable condition having regard to its age.

MORE INFORMATION

If you have any questions or require further information about the statutory warranty contact the Ministry of Fair Trading’s telephone advice service on (08) 9222 0666, or 1800 199 117 for country callers. TTY (08) 9222 0742 (Hearing impaired). Internet: http://www.wa.gov.au/gov/mft

ITEMS COVERED BY THE STATUTORY WARRANTY

This vehicle is covered by the terms of the statutory warranty under section 34 of the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act 1973. This means the dealer must repair or make good all defects which make or are likely to make the vehicle unroadworthy or unserviceable. For more information on warranty defects, refer to the vehicle diagram on the reverse side of the ‘Vehicle Particulars’ Form 4.

ITEMS NOT COVERED BY THE STATUTORY WARRANTY

The defects which are not required to be repaired by the dealer are those stated on the front of this form, provided—

this form was filled out and displayed on the vehicle before you negotiated to purchase it;

an accurate and detailed description of the defect, and an accurate estimate of the repair cost has been stated; and

you are given a signed copy of this notice before, or at the time of, sale.

Remember, it will be your responsibility to repair the defects listed on the front of this notice.

DESCRIPTION OF DEFECTS

The ‘Details of Defect’ should set out (with reasonable particularity) a description of the nature of the defect. For example, it would not be considered reasonable for a dealer to state “engine” as the defect and estimate $800 as the cost of repairs. What should be stated is the particular defect with the engine, such as “excessive exhaust smoke ‑ piston rings require replacement” together with the estimated cost of repairs.

 

UNDERESTIMATED REPAIR COSTS

If the amount estimated by the dealer as the fair cost of repairing or making good the defect is underestimated, then you may claim the difference between the fair cost of repair and the amount stated by the dealer on this form as the cost of repair.

 

MORE INFORMATION

If you have any questions or require further information about statutory warranties or this notice, contact the Ministry of Fair Trading’s telephone advice service on 9222 0666, or 1800 199 117 for country callers. TTY 9222 0742 (hearing impaired).

STATUTORY WARRANTY

This vehicle is not covered by the terms of the statutory warranty under section 34 of the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act 1973. This is because—

the cash price paid for the vehicle is $2 000 or less; or

the vehicle was sold at auction on behalf of a member of the public; or

the vehicle is exempted from the statutory warranty under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act 1973.

Exempted vehicles include—

Four wheel drive vehicles which are designed for use ‘off‑road’.

Reconstructed vehicles commonly called ‘Beach Buggies’.

Caravans.

A passenger car originally constructed as a ‘left hand drive’ vehicle, whether or not that vehicle has since been converted to ‘right hand drive’ and licensed in this State.

Motor cycles that are designed for competitive sport (unlicensed).

Commercial vehicles, such as a utility that is not designed as a passenger vehicle. However, a utility derived from a passenger car design must generally be provided with a statutory warranty.

WARRANTIES IMPLIED UNDER FAIR TRADING AND TRADE PRACTICES LAWS

The Fair Trading Act 1987 and Trade Practices Act 1974 (C’th) require the dealer selling this vehicle to ensure that the vehicle matches any description given and that it is of ‘merchantable quality’. This means that it must be fit for the purpose for which a vehicle of that nature is normally used. The amount of money you have paid for the vehicle is taken into account when determining merchantable quality.

For example, even though a vehicle is not covered by the statutory warranty under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act 1973, you are entitled to expect the dealer to repair any major defects that were present at the time of sale which prevent the vehicle from being used in the normal way. This also applies to anything that makes it unsafe to drive (eg. faulty brakes, faulty steering or major structural rust).

The requirement of merchantable quality does not apply — 

to defects specifically drawn to your attention before the contract of sale is made; or

if you examine the vehicle for defects before the contract is made, to defects that examination should have revealed.

VEHICLES BOUGHT AT AUCTION

Vehicles purchased at auction do not carry a ‘statutory warranty’ if they are being auctioned on behalf of a member of the public.

MORE INFORMATION

If you have any questions or require further information about statutory warranties or this notice, contact the Ministry of Fair Trading’s telephone advice service on 9222 0666, or 1800 199 117 for country callers. TTY 9222 0742 (hearing impaired).
