There is no cooling off period when buying a car in WA through a dealership. Make sure you are committed before signing; otherwise you may incur a penalty of around 15% of the purchase price. The amount can differ between dealerships, so make sure you read the fine print before signing.
Be wary of signing any documents so they can ‘hold’ the vehicle for you, as this may in fact be the purchase contract. If you sign a contract subject to finance then you can terminate if the finance falls through, but you do have to show you have made reasonable attempts to obtain the finance.
Purchasing a vehicle from a dealership does give you extra protection under the Australian Consumer Laws. This gives you the right to ask for repair, replacement or refund if your car is faulty, or unsafe. You will also have rights if the car is not fit for its intended purchase, or does not match the description advertised. The Australian Consumer Laws are governed by the Competition and Consumer Act (Cth) 2010 which replaced the Trades Practices Act (Cth) 1974.
If the purchase price of the vehicle is more than $4000, and is not more than 12 years old, nor has it travelled more than 180,000 kms, you will also receive a statutory warranty issued under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act 1973. The length of the warranty will depend on the age of the vehicle of the kilometres it has travelled.
