Contents of a purchase contract

Here, within the framework of the purchase contract, it is necessary that the correct address incl. the address of the property is stated. Address of the parties involved are listed.
- The object of purchase must be described exactly.
- For vehicles, the type certificate number and the chassis number are indispensable.
- Please note that the term "accident-free" can often lead to disputes, because once the vehicle has suffered a major dent from a minor accident, the vehicle can theoretically no longer be described as accident-free. Note for buyers: if the vehicle is described as an "accident vehicle", you must assume that the vehicle had significant accident damage.
