  Do you feel like a vehicle you purchased for your business has been more trouble than it’s worth? No one likes the idea of having purchased a lemon, especially given the expense of buying a vehicle and your expectation of how it will save you time and money.

Things to check before purchasing a second hand vehicle When purchasing a second hand vehicle, the warranties and guarantees you’re entitled to will depend on whether you are purchasing from a licenced dealer or privately (including online or at auction). A dealership will generally provide a limited warranty for used vehicles, and be subject to obligations under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), however when you purchase privately there are no warranties or guarantees making it a ‘buyer beware’ situation. https://www.smallbusiness.wa.gov.au/blog/how-res...
