Dom bought a new car, after looking it over carefully and taking it for a test drive. Due to a defect in the manufacture of the steel from which the back axle was made, the axle collapsed the next day when Dom was driving to work. He was unhurt but the car is a write-off. The loss is his since he had the opportunity to examine the car before buying.
