Used car cooling-off period

What is a cooling-off period?

Cooling-off periods apply to cars and motorbikes bought from licensed motor car traders.

You have three clear business days (excluding weekends and public holidays) after you sign a contract to change your mind. This is your cooling-off period. However, if you choose to accept delivery of the vehicle during this three-day period, you will automatically lose your right to cool off.

Licensed motor car traders are required to include a prescribed information box in the contract of sale for each vehicle they sell, that sets out information about the cooling-off process.

A licensed motor car trader is not obliged to order a vehicle from the manufacturer before the cooling-off period expires. You should therefore clarify with the licensed motor car trader when you can expect to receive it.

Changing your mind

If you change your mind, the dealer must be notified in writing. You should confirm with the dealer before the end of the cooling-off period that he or she has received the notification. The dealer can keep some of the deposit you have paid ($100 or 1% of the purchase amount, whichever is greater).

Commercial vehicles

There is no cooling-off period if the car is purchased in the name of a company or body corporate, or if it is classified as a commercial vehicle.

Very rare to have a non pushy car salesman. Even agreed with me when I was unsure when first viewing the car that I should have a think about it. Followed up in a timely manner with every question even after purchasing my Toyota soarer. My front bumper wasn’t of adequate quality in regards to a paint job and he is organising repainting of the bumper even months after the purchase. Would recommend anyone to go here, especially if you want a jdm car as you can be confident Ali only handpicks the best vehicles for his customers. Will be trying to purchase all future vehicles at Fabcar

Recently purchased a well maintained imported 1996 Mitsubishi Delica from Ali and was extremely happy with both Ali’s passion towards cars and the customer service he offered. Ali was happy to organise a minor rust removal from the roof, a ceramic darkest legal window tint and a colour matched respray of the faded paint on the tailgate, all of which were very well priced and look fantastic. You really couldn’t find a better car dealer anywhere in Perth, thank you again Ali for your kindness and honesty, I really can’t recommend Fabcar enough!
