British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Krotz v. Willis, 2020 BCCRT 877 (CanLII):
24. Where there has been no misrepresentation, the principle of ‘buyer beware’ largely applies to a private sale. This means that the purchaser assumes the risk that the purchased good, here the dirt bike, might be either defective or unsuitable to their needs (Rusak v. Henneken [1986] B.C.J. No. 3072 (S.C.) at paragraphs 17-18).
