    The court preferred the plaintiff's credible evidence that the dealer had agreed a parts and labour six‑month warranty and a 90% part‑exchange option which the plaintiff validly attempted to exercise; the dealer repudiated the obligation by failing to present a reasonable selection and is liable for the shortfall between 90% of the original purchase price and the plaintiff's sale proceeds, less amounts the plaintiff failed to reserve by compromise; accordingly judgment for plaintiff against the 1st Defendant for HKD 72,500 and claim against the 2nd Defendant dismissed.
