Hi there,
The Australian Consumer Law was updated in 2011 to provide a little more protection for private car buyers.
This means that buyers are protected by the guarantees to title, undisturbed possession and undisclosed securities (e.g. money owing on the car).
See this blog post for a more detailed explanation: Faulty Second Hand Car? Your Options as a Buyer - Legal Blog - LawAnswers.com.au
Or if you want to read it straight from a government publication, see (5th page): http://www.consumerlaw.gov.au/conte...loads/industry_guides/motor_vehicle_sales.pdf
I agree with @Tim W that you may need to see a solicitor. However you before you do that you can call Fair Trading and see if they can help you: Contact us - NSW Fair Trading
