second hand goods warranties?

Question

I purchased a 2nd hand washing machine back in July this year, and it was all good until the first one played up so the guy replaced it then a few weeks later that one started leaking so he replaced it again this time it was on the 15th September. We started noticing grease marks on our clothes, by the time we realised it was from the machine the 2 months warranty was out of date, however he told me he would get someone out to look at it for me and now hes saying that he didnt say that at all. What I want to know is this; does anyone know what amount of warranty is correct, i was told that most 2nd hand places give 3 months warranty, I have looked on the consumer affair and office of fair trading and cant seem to work their website out, i cant find anything on warranties. Any help either from personal experience or someone who may know where in the website i can find this particular information would be appreiated.Thanks

Answer 1

If you purchased it from a Licenced second hand dealer then it is a 3 months policy , if such things break down before or replaced then it seems that the machine has been replaced from what you have stated , then he will have to have it checked out because of the replacement of machines , find the receipt of the machine and the date of each machine that was replaced, the warranty should still apply because of the different machines being replaced .

Answer 2

The warranty on used goods, in every jurisdiction I'm familiar with, is whatever the seller chooses to offer.

As far as I know, NO State mandates a warranty on used goods. In most places, ALL second hand sales are "as-is" unless the seller chooses to offer a warranty.

Unless otherwise warrented by the seller, in most states, I think that used goods are understood to be sold and purchased "as is".
