Used Car Attorney
And it’s not just the money. It’s the helplessness facing a seller who doesn’t respond and a breakdown that isn’t your fault.
- The problem
Law firm specializing in used cars
You bought a used vehicle and reality has hit you hard. Breakdowns that won’t stop, a seller who no longer responds and the constant feeling of having wasted your money.
This is not bad luck. In most cases, it’s a breach of the obligations established by law.
As attorneys specializing in used cars, our job is to analyze your case objectively, determine your rights and execute the most effective claim to recover your money or obtain a definitive repair.
- File a used car claim
Everything depends on who sold you the car
To file a claim effectively, the first step is to identify the seller. The law does not treat a professional the same as a private individual, and your rights and deadlines change completely.
1. If the seller is a professional (dealership or car dealer)
You are protected by the Consumer Protection Act. The seller is obligated to provide you with a Legal Warranty of at least one year. This warranty covers any «lack of conformity«: breakdowns and defects that do not correspond to what was agreed in the contract or with the expected condition of the vehicle.
2. If the seller is a private individual
The transaction is governed by the Civil Code. There is no warranty as such, but the seller has the legal obligation to respond for six months for hidden defects. A hidden defect is considered a serious defect that existed before the sale and is not visible, which makes the car useless for its purpose or severely diminishes its value.
- Cases we handle
What can you demand from the seller?
Once the legal framework of your case is determined, these are the remedies you can demand, if necessary through legal proceedings.
Mandatory repair
Force the seller to assume the full cost of repairing the breakdown.
Price reduction
Claim a reduction on the original purchase price, equivalent to what the vehicle has lost in value due to the defect.
Contract termination
This is the most decisive action. It consists of undoing the sale: you return the car and the seller returns the full amount of money you paid.
Vehicle replacement
Applicable only to purchases from professionals. If repair is not viable or effective, you can demand delivery of another vehicle with equivalent characteristics.
