Supreme Court to the term "demonstration" when buying a car Der Bundesgerichtshof hat heute entschieden, dass der Begriff "Vorführwagen" keine Aussage über das Alter des Fahrzeugs enthält.
Der Kläger kaufte im Juni 2005 vom Beklagten, einem Händler, unter Verwendung eines Bestellformulars für gebrauchte Wohnmobile ein vom Verkäufer als Vorführwagen genutztes Wohnmobil. In dem Kaufvertrag sind der abgelesene Kilometer-Stand und die "Gesamtfahrleistung lt. Vorbesitzer" mit 35 km angegeben. In der Zeile "Sonstiges" heißt es: "Vorführwagen zum Sonderpreis …". Die Fahrzeugübergabe fand im Juli 2005 statt; die Erstzulassung erfolgte auf den Kläger. Im November 2005 erfuhr der Käufer auf einer Messe, dass es sich bei dem Wohnmobil um einen Building from 2003 is. Citing the fact he declared in March 2007 to withdraw from the contract. In his application, the buyer seeks the repayment of the purchase price in the amount of 64,000 € train to train against restitution of the motorhome. The district court has upheld the complaint. The Higher Regional Court dismissed the appeal of the vendor's claim.
directed against the revision of the buyer had no success. Who among other responsible for the Sale of Eighth Civil Division of the Federal Court ruled that only allows the description of a vehicle as a demonstration no conclusion on the date of manufacture. The fact that it is in the acted in 2005, sold as a demonstration motor home to a structure built in 2003, so is not a material defect which would entitle the buyer to cancel the purchase contract.
Under a demonstration vehicle used is a commercial understanding that has served a new car dealer mainly for demonstration purposes (inspection and test drive) and not yet approved a final consumer was. The quality description of "demonstration" includes, however, no agreement about the age of the vehicle or the duration of its recent use as a demonstration. As far as labeled "Demonstration" is often the idea is connected, that it regularly raised a newer vehicle, this is based solely upon that a demonstration is generally used only for short test drives and it is also exhibit no greater wear. A conclusion on the age of the demonstration, given its only under particular circumstances of each case be justified. Such circumstances were not however given.
