Question 2

Question 2: You buy a vehicle from a second-hand car dealer that has been cloned without you knowing this. You put down a deposit and start paying off the monthly instalments. After six months you are informed that the car has been confiscated because it has been cloned and has illegal registration papers. You are the victim in this set-up so the car dealer cannot expect further payments from you. Is this correct?
