Recently, a dispute involving second-hand car transactions has attracted widespread attention.
According to Xiaoli's help report, Mr. Gong in Zhengzhou, Henan Province learned that someone was selling second-hand Xiaomi SU7 through the online platform on September 7, and immediately decided to go to Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province to buy it, and paid 205,000 yuan for the purchase of the car.
According to Mr. Gong, he paid 201,000 yuan to the seller at that time, and agreed to pay the remaining 4,000 yuan after the transfer of ownership of the vehicle. However, after Mr. Gong drove the car back, the original owner suddenly asked for a price increase, which Mr. Gong refused.
Subsequently, the original owner cancelled Mr. Gong's vehicle authorization through remote operation, resulting in the vehicle being locked and unable to be used normally.
After understanding, the original owner said that the two parties only had a verbal agreement at that time, and did not sign a formal car purchase contract. Since Mr. Gong had not yet made all the payments, he still retained control of the vehicle. The original owner denied the claim of the price increase, and insisted that the two parties did not agree on the final price at that time.
However, after reviewing the chat records between Mr. Gong and the original owner, Xiaoli found that the two parties had clearly agreed on the purchase price of the vehicle, and Mr. Gong had paid most of the amount as agreed. In the face of this evidence, the original owner changed his story and said that Mr. Gong asked him to send the chat record, and he did not recognize the content.
At present, Mr. Gong has decided to protect his legitimate rights and interests through legal means. He said he would seek legal assistance and sue the original owner to demand that the other party perform the contract and compensate for the resulting damages.
The lawyer said that in this incident, since the two parties had clearly agreed on the price of the vehicle in the WeChat chat, the contract had come into effect, and part of the contract had been performed and the vehicle had been delivered, the seller of the vehicle should assist in fulfilling the transfer obligation, otherwise it should bear the liability for breach of contract.
This incident once again reminds consumers that when trading second-hand goods, they must sign a formal contract or agreement, and clearly stipulate the rights and obligations of both parties. At the same time, it is also necessary to keep relevant transaction records and evidence, so that they can protect their legitimate rights and interests in the event of disputes.
