Problems with import car? Free legal advice!


Questioner

Last weekend I signed an agreement regarding the purchase of a second-hand car. Deposit paid of EUR 500.00. After the weekend I asked for the license plate of the car, because I need this for the car insurance. Then I was told that the license plate is not yet known, because this is an imported car (from Germany). The application for NL license plate had already been started by the seller. During the sale I was never told that it was an imported car. But if I had known that, I would never have bought it. I have since discovered (Google) that the world of imported cars is a shady world with cars where the mileage can be rolled back or where damaged cars are repaired. I have already read something about the reporting obligation (seller) and the investigation obligation (buyer), but that does not make me much wiser. However, when I look at the purchase agreement, the license plate is not stated anywhere. This makes sense, because the seller only requested the license plate (NL) after the weekend. In theory, the car stated on the purchase agreement (make, model, year of manufacture) could be a different car than the car that will now/soon be sold to me (with a Dutch registration number). And that doesn't give me a good feeling. Can I now cancel the purchase (and request a refund of the deposit) based on the lack of the license plate on the purchase agreement?

Lawyer

What was the license plate number of the car at the time of your visit, a temporary one? Did you take it for a test drive?
