Advice, Selling Vehicle, Duplicate Registration-Book

[orange17]

Respected Sir/Madam,

     I need your sincere advice, because I am very confused. :S

I bought a 2002 model, TOYOTA HILUX SR5, LAHORE REGISTERED IN 2005, WITH COMPLETE RETURN FILE, 1 month ago, for 16 LACS, ((which, at that time I knew, (WAS ONLY, A LITTLE EXPENSIVE), than the market rate)).

But a few days back, A friend told me, that it's REGISTRATION BOOK was DUPLICATE. SO, I got it checked from the 15-Office, which showed NO records of ANY misuse or crime committed using that vehicle.

This vehicle is in EXCELLENT shape, with each & everything working at it's best. (H)

IS IT, POSSIBLE FOR ME TO RE-SELL IT, AT THE SAME PRICE, AGAIN?
Because i'm in need of money, urgently.

Your suggestions mean alot to me. :)

i checked the book, but there was no stamp of (DUPLICATE), & the page also had the govt. of punjab logo, when, seen through light..

only ( DC-2 ) was printed at the top left, in very small characters.

i got it frm a car dealer he never told me abt it, & said its guaranteed, 100% ok

i dnt know wht to do..
shud i go & tell him abt it, or just go & ask him to resell it ?

& when i bought it, i signed a stamp paper which clearly says that after selling, in case of any problems with documents or registration, the seller will be responsible..

bro, does it mean, that he will take the vehicle back & return me the money ??

There is no way dealer is going to take back the vehicle from you and return you your money. I faced a similar case where we bought a property from a family friend and didn't do proper due diligence. Turns out that our family friend had taken a loan and that property was pledged with a bank. We ended up losing the land and we also lost the case in court. The judge simply mentioned 'Mushtri Hoshyar Bash'. Translated in english this means, buyer should complete his due diligence and is responsible for checking everything himself and that after a transaction is done it can not be reversed. He said that we were responsible for checking whether the property had any charge on it or not and since we didn't we had to face the consequences.

The lesson is never to trust anyone

[sunhonbun]

well dc1 does stand for duplicate book....duplicate books r indeed to be stamped but some people bribe the motor registering authority not to stamp a duplicate book....we also encountered same issue some 8 years ago

[orange17]

yes, & its never too late to change ourselves

[orange17]

yes, you are absolutely right.
I should have checked it completely, but at that time i did not have that experience to check the book.
anywayz its a lesson of life
