Ethics of selling cars - taking into account the safety of buyers

I want to draw your attention to a moral issue, many people even did not think of when selling a car - from

Buyer's safety from

 . As the seller of the vehicle, you have several obligations to the buyer. It can be said that the most important thing is to do everything in their power to ensure that they are safe to go home.

Selling unsafe vehicles without providing full disclosure to the buyer is not only potentially dangerous, but may also expose you to unnecessary liability. When we drive every day, we tend to forget its "quirks." Take a few minutes to think about the problems with your car, and you tend to ignore them.

What you take for granted, sometimes even without paying attention to it, can be a real danger to the buyer. Yes, you know that the brakes are almost worn out and it takes a long time to stop, but did you tell the buyer? How about the annoying habit of crying when your car suddenly accelerates? If you know that you shouldn't quit before the speeding semifinals, then it's easy to handle, right?

No one wants a lawyer's phone, asks their clients about small questions that you hate, they are frustrated that you don't discriminate against selling your car - and get them into an accident. To make matters worse, if you see your front car being flattened by a truck the next day and killing all the passengers, your conscience will be taken seriously.

Morally, the correct approach is to distinguish between safety issues known to the buyer or mechanical problems that may result in unreliable performance. Legally, you may not be asking for this, but it is best for all parties involved.

Another way to solve this problem is to solve the security problem in advance. Of course, it will cost you some money, but it will almost always translate into better selling prices and satisfied buyers when they know that you have taken care of the vehicle and are looking for their safety.

Finally, in order to protect yourself from unnecessary responsibilities, please follow the lead of the car dealer. You can prepare a simple statement that you have not misrepresented the condition of the vehicle and that the vehicle is sold "as is" and does not guarantee or guarantee its condition.

Ask yourself the following questions before you sell your car. If the answer to any of them is no, you need to fix it or send it to the buyer:

Will my car stop as it should?
Will my car be as it should be?
Will my car behave like it?
Can the driver clearly see the window?
Will I let my grandmother drive these tires?

No reasonable person wants to be responsible for the harm of another person, or to make himself a target of litigation. If you know how to sell your car yourself, do it right and consider the safety of the buyer.
