Regulation 10

Motor Car Traders Act 1986

COOLING-OFF RIGHTS AND WAIVING YOUR COOLING-OFF RIGHTS

YOUR RIGHT TO COOL OFF

There is a cooling-off period for all car sales (including motorcycle sales), except for commercial vehicles, vehicles sold to a motor car trader and any vehicle sold to a body corporate.

The cooling-off period will terminate three clear days after the purchaser signs the agreement for the sale of a motor car or immediately if the purchaser during the cooling-off period and immediately before delivery signs a waiver. Clear days do not include weekends or public holidays.

If you cool off and terminate the agreement for the sale of the car, there is a penalty. That is, the motor car trader will keep some of your money. The amount that the trader will keep depends on the type of sale. (Trader to tick relevant box based on type of sale.)

o     The penalty for terminating a new car sale is $400 or 2 per cent of the purchase price (whichever is greater) where this is not an off-trade premises sale.

o     The penalty for terminating an "off-trade-premises" sale of a new car is $100 or 1 per cent of the purchase price (whichever is greater). An "off-trade-premises" sale is one in which you agree to purchase the car while you are at home or at your workplace and you did not ask for the agreement to be signed at your home or workplace.

o     The penalty for terminating a used car sale is $100 or 1 per cent of the purchase price (whichever is greater).

DETAILS OF CAR

Make and model of motor car:

Registration No.:

If unregistered—engine number or chassis number or vehicle identification number or registration number (if any) last assigned to the vehicle or, if none of those numbers are reasonably ascertainable, any other number by which the vehicle may be identified.

Selling trader:

PENALTY IF YOU ELECT TO COOL OFF ON THIS CAR PURCHASE

The penalty that would apply if you cool off on this car sale would be
$ (Trader to enter relevant amount based on purchase price and type of sale.)

NOTE: A copy of this form is to be given to the customer whether the customer signs it or not, and the trader will retain a copy of the form if the customer signs the waiver.

WAIVING YOUR COOLING-OFF RIGHTS

    1.     I have agreed to buy this vehicle.

    2.     I know that the Motor Car Traders Act 1986 gives me the right to decide within 3 days not to go ahead with the purchase and to cancel the sale agreement. This reference to 3 days means 3 clear days not including Saturdays, Sundays or days that are wholly or partly observed as Victorian public holidays.

    3.     I know that if I sign this form immediately before accepting delivery of the vehicle, I WILL LOSE MY RIGHT TO CANCEL THE SALE AGREEMENT.
