The Used Car Sales Agreement is a vital legal document used in Australia for transactions involving second-hand vehicles. It serves as a binding contract between sellers (whether private individuals or dealerships) and buyers, documenting the terms and conditions of the sale. This agreement is designed to comply with Australian Consumer Law, state-specific motor vehicle trading regulations, and relevant fair trading legislation. It includes detailed information about the vehicle, its condition, the agreed price, warranty provisions, and the responsibilities of both parties.
