車行搞錯 華裔誤買外省車

車行搞錯 華裔誤買外省車 年半後轉售始揭發 遭壓價

[2010-07-05]

劉力手持相關文件,提醒公眾買賣汽車時要格外小心。

到車行買車,買賣合約寫明該車未曾在卑詩省以外的地方登記,但一年過後原車主把汽車轉手時,才發現該車曾在安省登記。一位華裔車主劉力向本報投訴,指他所購下該車來自卑詩省以外地區,而去年買入時車行並未有如實寫明,導致他今年轉手時少賣了數千元。他說更為氣憤的是,有關車行經理並不肯認錯,也未給他一個說法)。
  
車主劉力對《星島日報》表示,去年2月2日,他在溫哥華一家經營一知名品牌新車的車行,購下一輛2008年款、里程為 3,200公里的公司促銷及展示用車,成交價為17,500元。他說該車登記在自己名下,但供女兒代步用;由於女兒計劃今年到國外讀書,所以他今年較早時決定賣掉此車。

    劉力同女兒搜集了一些相同年款、里程數的二手車價格,並於6月25日首先來到購買該車的車行,詢問車行是否願回購該車。劉力透露,該車行的二手車經理沒有出價,看了車後讓他回家等通知。

當天跑了另外幾家車行
    由於女兒不久後要動身,劉力稱希望盡快安排賣掉。當天又跑了另外幾家車行。一些車行向卑詩保險公司(ICBC)查核該車資料,才發現了該車於2008年 11月28日由別省進入卑詩的車行,並據此而壓低了二手車收購價。

    劉力表示,當時就感到奇怪,因沒有印象自己曾經買下外省車,但當時購車合約沒在身邊。他說曾經想過,可能當初簽約時沒細看該車來自省外的條款,但認為既簽了字就要承擔責任,加上希望盡快賣掉,就把車子以8,000元的價格,賣給出價較高的二手車行。

    把車子賣掉的同一天,劉力在家中找到去年的購車協議,他發現在「車行聲明」(The Dealer Declares)一欄第6條,在「該車是否曾經在卑詩省以外的地區登記?」問題的後面,車行選了「否」。
    劉力當天就與女兒一道,重返車行並同車行經理會面,希望弄清楚問題所在。劉力氣憤地表示,車行經理兜圈子講了很多,包括當初已經給他2,000多元折扣、車行為該車換過幾次機油等,但始終沒有正面回答該車是否曾經在外省登記過。

籲讀者查清汽車來源
    劉力說他當場致電一家二手車行,請員工代為解釋,車行經理在接聽電話時顯得很不耐煩,仍不承認合約上有不實寫法。劉力表示,如果車行堅持不認錯,只好向有關部門投訴乃至尋求法律解決,車行經理就語氣強硬地結束談話。

    劉力對此感到很憤怒,他說作為著名品牌的車行,不該犯錯事後卻不承擔。至於是否會提出索賠要求,劉力稱車行現在不肯認錯,無法同他們商談賠償事。他說:「希望我的經歷能引起廣大消費者的注意,在買賣車輛時一定要萬分小心。」

    據瞭解,卑詩新車及二手車銷售的監管及牌照發放,都由卑詩汽車銷售機構(Motor Vehicle Sales Authority of British Columbia)負責,該機構接受並且調查消費者的投訴。本報記者6月29日致電該機構查詢,但截至發稿時,留言未獲回覆。

??  How could he be called dishonest this way while you don't know all their details?  He could be the owner of the car and her daughter be the principal driver (yes, you could put that into your insurance record).  That's totally legal.

SMART CONSUMERS
Most consumers would go to visit the franchised dealership
showrooms when they need another vehicle or to replace
their existing one. You will definitely be excited by the
shinny and colorful vehicles. However, this kind of
excitement can always lead you to a lot of frustration.
Salespersons in the traditional franchised dealerships
would try to sell you the models that they carry, no matter if
it suits your needs or not. Biased information may mislead
you to make purchase of a vehicle that let you experience
nagging feeling of doubt and regret.

After run-arounds of different dealerships, the bargaining
over price and the value of your trade-in vehicle can only
make you even more frustrated. It spoils the enjoyment of a
happy buying experience and yet you would still be
wondering whether you got the best deal.

Although most franchised dealerships carry inventory and
demontrators, availability is limited within one individual
showroom. You may finally be persuaded and take the off
color with unwanted options instead of the one that you
preferred. Even worse, the equipment on the vehicle that
you test drive may not be the same as the one you were
convinced to purchase!

BE A SMART BUYER
Smart consumers do not only try to get the best price. It is
much more important in selecting the right vehicle to suit
your transportation needs and the right payment method to
suit you financial planning. Proper tax planning can also
save you thousands of dollars.

IDENTIFY THE NEEDS
Most people in North America have been driving for years,
but when it comes to purchase of a vehicle, it seems that
there are number of hurdles to leap before you can drive it
off, or, only comparing the price tag without considering the
more important factors.

needs, it can waste huge amount of your time and money
no matter it is a luxury or cheap vehicle. It can also affect

    Lien search won't result in anything, if the car did not used against a loan.

    I think he meant, he is the owner but his daughter is the principle driver.  These two do not have to the same.

He didn't get car proof when he bought it?  

It doesn't make sense to me, why if it is NOT BC car, will worth less??

When he bought it in 2009, as a 2008 car car, and it was a "DEMO" with only 2800 km.

With just 2800 km, doesn't matter if the car was from BC or ONT .. ( from US is a diff story )  

I am guessing it was a head office demo, say if it is a Honda, may be a Honda Canada car, used for whatever promotion purpose, and since the head office is in Ont, so not surprise if it was reg in ONT before.

This news ..  kind of like Apple daily news, Misleading topic!

I guess the problem here is that the dealer actually stated the vehicle was never registered out of the province, which is falsifying information. Not too sure how the statement was made, and whether any sort of Carproof or similar services was used.

I always question the factuality of Carproof print-outs that used car dealerships presents when showing you the car. I mean, it's just a print-out, it can really be easily faked. Unless you pay another $60 and independantly re-submit the car's information to Carproof online, the Carproof print-out that the dealer shows you is virtually useless. Carproof will always get double business for the same car then. What a business!~
