Sale Procedures

Charlotte Motor Salvage does not know what condition vehicles are in and so far as is permitted by law does not give any assurance, representation or warranty about anything relating to vehicles sold. In particular, but without prejudice to the generality of the previous sentence, Charlotte Motor Salvage transfers only such title as it has in any vehicles sold and does not give any further warranty on ownership or vehicle identity. These terms have been prepared with those facts in mind. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to verify the vehicle details are correct (model, year, engine size or past history), and not that of the vendor – Charlotte Motor Salvage. Charlotte Motor Salvage only offers the purchaser guideline descriptions of the vehicles that are sold.
  2. Charlotte Motor Salvage shall not be liable in any way in respect of any failure of a vehicle sold by it at auction or direct sale to pass a MOT test / Vehicle Identity Check ('VIC') or any statutory check in relation to vehicle identity, either in addition to a VIC or replacing the VIC. Any such failure does not give the purchaser the right to return the vehicle or to a refund of the purchase price.
  3. Charlotte Motor Salvage, not knowing the history of the vehicles sold by it at auction or direct sale, cannot guarantee that the odometer is accurate and purchasers bid / buy on the basis that no reliance is placed by them on the odometer reading.
  4. Charlotte Motor Salvage shall not be liable for any error, omission, mis-description, un-fitness for any particular purpose or lack of merchantable quality whether the vehicle is sold to a primary or subsequent purchaser.
  5. Charlotte Motor Salvage has the right to refuse to sell any vehicle at its absolute discretion without explanation or liability.
  6. All vehicles are sold on the basis that they are damaged and that such damage forms part of the description of the vehicle whether for use by the primary purchaser or any subsequent purchaser. All photographs and descriptions are only there to aid the purchaser and are not intended to replace a visual inspection in person. The purchaser shall buy the vehicle/s on the basis that the purpose for which the vehicle/s is purchased is for repair or dismantling. It must be repaired and inspected prior to use on the public highway. The buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that any salvaged vehicle purchased by the buyer shall be purchased in the state and condition that it is in at the time of viewing and/or purchase with ALL FAULTS AND DEFECTS ("AS IS"). The buyer further specifically acknowledges that the salvaged vehicle purchased "AS IS" may be damaged, defective or otherwise unmerchantable and/or of unsatisfactory quality, and upon collection / delivery the buyer fully accepts the vehicle in this condition.
