Andrew wished to buy a minibus for his domestic use of transporting equipments and friends. Last month, he visited Vehicles Trading Ltd (a company specialising in selling used vehicles) and viewed a silver minibus with a sale brochure and notice in the window reading: “2017 Supreme Escort Minibus. Special offer : HK$205,000; 30,000 miles; 12 litre engine and good little runner." Andrew discussed the minibus with the salesman who informed Andrew that the vehicle was in very good condition however it has a defective clutch (but it will drive with no problems for at least three months). The company would fix the clutch before purchase or Andrew could take the minibus in its present condition and could have a HK$5,000 discount if he wished to have the clutch fixed himself. Andrew thought that he can get the clutch fixed for a cheaper price and then purchased the minibus minus the HK$5,000 discount (net price HK$200,000). In his first week of ownership of the van, the clutch failed and Andrew has to tow the minibus to his local garage where he is informed of the following facts: The minibus is in fact stolen and does not belong to Vehicles Trading Ltd. Andrew checked the previous minibus travelling documents show that the minibus has travelled over 70,000 miles. The car has a 9 litre engine. The clutch will cost HK$8,000 to fix. Advise Andrew as to his rights under the Sale of Goods Ordinance with reference with the seller's implied statutory duties and Andrew's remedies against the seller.
