AUTO DEALERSHIP FRAUD AND MISPRESENTATION
Purchasing a vehicle should be an exciting and memorable experience, filled with anticipation and the thrill of getting behind the wheel of a new set of wheels. However, it is an unfortunate reality that buying a new or used vehicle is not always a smooth and straightforward process. In fact, it can often be riddled with potential pitfalls and challenges that can turn the joyous occasion into a frustrating ordeal. Many buyers face mistakes or acts of dishonesty made by the dealership and not all dealers are willing to make things right. Whether it's a misrepresentation of the vehicle's condition, a failure to disclose important information about its history, or even the inclusion of hidden fees and charges, these actions can leave buyers feeling deceived and taken advantage of. Common issues include:
Failure to register the vehicle after purchase
Failure to pay off trade-off
Failure to disclose prior damage
Failure to disclose prior rental status
Bait and switch
Odometer roll back
Incorrect title status
Undisclosed frame or structural damage

If you purchase a vehicle AS IS and there are mechanical issues, depending on the problem, the dealer may not be responsible. It is important to always request a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic of your choice to help uncover any potential problems or hidden defects that the dealer may not disclose. By taking the time to have a professional evaluate the vehicle's condition, you can make an informed decision and potentially avoid costly repairs down the road. Remember, purchasing a used car is a significant investment, and conducting a thorough inspection is a wise precautionary measure to protect your interests.
