Used car purchase cheating

i guess there is nothing could be done now..it is your duty to ask for service records at the time of purchase and verify the same and where it has been done...

Was the car under unexpired warranty of Maruti when you purchased the car? If so you can try in the consumer court against Maruti. The private seller is not covered under the Consumer Protection Act. If he is a used car dealer you can file case against him in the Consumer Court.

You have purchased a car from its previous owner, so the responsibility to check the serviceability conditions will be lying on you.  Once you have taken delivery after paying full consideration amount, the previous owner's liability extinguished.  You cannot claim any damages against him afterwards.

Hello,

 

Thanks for the reply, this is very helpful. but is there any way to get the damage covered from previous owner in consumer court or civil court.

Can I approach local police and file an case against the chetaing.

Thanks,

It is the policy of Maruti that if ownership is transferred when the vehicle is still under warranty, the warranty for the unexpired period also gets transferred. Any damage due to accident etc. are not covered under the warranty. Warranty is against manufacturing defects. If vehicle gets damaged due to, say, an accident and thereafter the vehicle fails due to manufacturing defect of another part, the repair should still be covered under the warranty terms unless Maruti could prove that the failure was partly or completely due to the previous damage. In order to determine this you have to give us here the technical details of what exactly was the first damage and what was the reason for its present failure. The vehicle was towed to the workshop. Was it repaired or did you take delivery of the vehicle without repairs due to the dispute? You must get a technical reply from the workshop and if you have a case you must first write to Maruti direct. They will contact the workshop direct and get a report and then give you a reply. Your case will depend on their final reply. Anyway no opinion can be expressed here without knowing the details, particularly the technical details.
