Can I Get a Refund Plus Triple Compensation for Buying a Flood-Damaged Car?

[OJuliana]

You can demand a refund plus triple compensation for a second-hand flood-damaged car. Here are the relevant details: Evidence: If you request a refund plus triple compensation after purchasing a flood-damaged car, you need to provide evidence. This includes preparing the signed sales contract, payment receipts, and appraisal results proving the car is a second-hand flood-damaged vehicle. The prerequisite for demanding a refund plus triple compensation is being unaware of the car's condition, meaning the seller engaged in fraudulent behavior, which provides a legal basis. Regulations: According to the provisions of the "Contract Law," if a business operator commits fraud in providing goods or services, they must, at the consumer's request, increase the compensation for the losses suffered. The increased compensation amount is three times the price of the goods or the cost of the services. If the business operator knowingly provides goods or services with defects, resulting in the death or severe health damage of the consumer or other victims, the victim has the right to demand compensation as stipulated by relevant laws. Sellers have the obligation and responsibility to inform buyers about the true condition of the vehicle being purchased. Therefore, if you unknowingly buy a second-hand flood-damaged car and have the necessary evidence, you can demand compensation from the seller, who should comply with the relevant legal provisions for compensation.
