Used vehicle sales contract from business to business
Sometimes you can read in the car advertisements that the used vehicle is only for sale from trade to trade. This has its special reason with regard to the purchase contract.
A used vehicle requires a sales contract
- When you buy a used vehicle from a dealer, it is actually not uncommon. They examine the vehicle inside and out, possibly take a test drive and then decide whether or not to buy this vehicle. If you want to own this vehicle, then it will be a completely normal one Purchase contract and you have at least six months warranty after purchase.
- When selling from business to business, however, it is a little different. The buyer does not necessarily have to be a car dealer, he just has to be self-employed. The most important feature is that with such a sale there is no guarantee and you have to trust the seller. It is especially advisable if you are going to one TÜV-Office or drive to DEKRA to have the used vehicle you are buying put through its paces.
A lot is different from trade to trade
- After you have taken a test drive as a self-employed person and you like this vehicle, a special trade-to-trade sales contract must be completed. The exclusion of warranty claims is once again pointed out here. Furthermore, your business will be entered in the contract as evidence for the tax office, because here the VAT is ultimately not applicable. If you pay this VAT, you can deduct it in full at the tax office.
- You should report every defect you see to the seller immediately so that the damage can be repaired on site or the obligation to repair the damage is entered in the vehicle sales contract. This protects you against the seller. If you drive away with the vehicle and have already signed the contract, the guarantee and all possible recourse claims expire from this point in time.
