Reference no: EM132489042
Emily wants to buy a second-hand truck for use in the business, and visits a number of vehicle dealers before deciding to purchase an as-new 2013 Isuzu FVR Truck from Harry's Truck Sales. The salesperson, Greg, tells Emily that the truck was manufactured in 2013 and has only done 19,000 kms.
Emily buys the truck for $58,000. The truck works well, and is a good asset for the business as it is used to transport the materials for making the knives, as well and transporting the deliveries to restaurants, cafes, and food businesses around Tasmania. Three months later, Emily arranges to have the truck serviced with her local mechanic Martin, who is an Isuzu truck enthusiast. Martin comments on the fact that the truck was in pretty good condition for a 2008 Isuzu truck, though he was surprised that it had only done 19,000 kms. He would not have been surprised if it had done 50,000 kms.
Emily makes further inquiries, and discovers that the Isuzu was in fact made in 2008 and she has paid about $15,000 more than the actual market value of the truck. Emily intends to approach Harry's Truck Sales about this issue.
Q: Advise Emily of her contractual rights.
