The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) recently issued a circular for vehicle distributors in the country to provide customers with all relevant information about the cars they purchase.The circular indicated that dealers must provide customers with a dated invoice that includes the price, model, make of the vehicle and whether it is new or used. Besides, they must clearly inform customers about apparent or other defects in the vehicle, mileage and whether the car has been involved in any accident or sustained any damage. The MEC stressed that customers should be fully aware of the status of the vehicles they buy. In case of non-disclosure of such key information, the circular points out, the seller is bound by the law to compensate the buyer financially or repair the damage that exists during the sale.
