A driver in our town went to get a new car. She told the dealer that the car was to be used as a taxi and was told that it would not be a problem. The car was delivered last Saturday. This morning the credit agreement arrived and it has a clause stating that the vehicle is not to be used for hire or reward.
Does the driver have any rights to return the car because it is not fit for the purpose it was bought for or any other reasons?
I think that (the not business use rule) is not uncommon.
I’m not sure the credit people can stipulate what the vehicle is used for, all they can do is refuse to finance it in the first place.
That said go back to the dealer are ask them, i very much doubt they want the car back so they should have the problem not the driver.
She has been back to the dealer and they told her that they had the money from the finance people so it was no longer their car. They sugested that she should insure the vehicle as a private car so that she could send the insurance certificate off to the finance people to show that it was not going to be used for hire or reward and then change the insurance back again after the finance company are satisfied.
My question on that would be, what impications could that have on the owner?
