 {{Template:Legal Help Guide TOC}}If you buy a car privately, the general law is “buyer beware,” meaning that you are stuck with the car and its problems unless the seller misrepresented (lied about) an important thing about the car. If this happens, you may have to sue the seller in court.
-The law gives you more protection if you buy a car from someone in the business, such as a new or used car dealer.  For new vehicles, there are legal standards for durabilty under the provincial ''Sale of Goods Act'', and there are common law rights for both new and used vehicles.  There are additional protections for what promises are made about both new and used vehicles sales from car dealers under the BC business practices legislation.  Any waiver of your statutory rights is usually not valid.
