Deirdre bought a secondhand car from Honest Harry's Autos after being assured by Harry, in response to her questions, that the car had been driven

Deirdre bought a secondhand car from Honest Harry's Autos after being assured by Harry, in response to her questions, that the car had been driven only in good weather by the little old lady from whom he had purchased it. He claimed that was why its mileage was so low, and that it had never, (according to the little old lady), had so much as a scratch. "That's excellent," said Deirdre. "If it had been otherwise, I wouldn't have bought it."

Deirdre soon began having trouble with the car pulling to one side when she applied the brakes, so she took it into the garage for a wheel alignment. The mechanic said "Why on earth would you buy this old heap? Granny Moses, that wild old lady, drove this thing like a madwoman, and it's never been the same since her last crash."

Question 11 options:

Honest Harry's committed Fraudulent misrepresentation. Rescission of contract could be expected.

Honest Harry's committed Fraudulent misrepresentation. Rescission of contract and damages could be expected

Buyer beware is the rule in this situation. No remedy could be expected.

As this was a question of opinion, it is not misrepresentation. No remedy is required.

None of the above.
