Moreover, the Used Vehicle Bill of Sale was only one of the contractual documents in this transaction.<\/p>\n<p>Given the ambiguity on the issue of warranties of fitness when the contract was formed, it was appropriate for the trial judge to consider the subsequent conduct of the parties concerning the ongoing mechanical problems with the vehicle. The appellants, to their credit, did not take the position they had no responsibility for the mechanical problems with the vehicle, rather they assumed some of the repair costs. The trial judge stated (at para 24) \u201c\u2026 I find that the assumption of responsibility for the repairs corroborates \u2026(the seller\u2019s)\u2026 verbal representations about the reasonable fitness of the vehicle as a contractual obligation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Guru Eak Transport Ltd. v.
