For most people, buying a car can be a mystery. Mechanical issues, financing, warranties, and trade-ins all present challenges. For a disreputable car dealer, they present opportunities for consumer fraud.

  • After you bought your car, did you find out that it had been previously wrecked? Auto dealers are supposed to disclose that information prior to the sale. A car damaged in a wreck or a natural disaster like a hurricane or flood may be cleaned up enough for sale - but the car won't last.
  • To make a car seem less used, some dealers roll back the odometer. They know you are more likely to buy a car with 50,000 miles than a car with 100,000 miles. If this has happened to you, talk to an auto fraud attorney.
  • Were you sold a fraudulent warranty? If you went back to the dealer for repairs and found out your warranty was no good, talk to a lawyer about your rights.
  • Have you been the victim of deceptive financing? Some dealers will alter the terms on the contract after the sale. In other cases, the dealer will misrepresent the interest rate, the nature of the financing or the duration of the payments.
  • Did the dealer fail to pay off your trade-in as agreed at the time of sale? Some auto buyers have found that the loan on their trade-in was not paid off and that the dealer had failed to transfer title. The buyer then becomes the victim of wrongful repossession. Such deceptive trade practices are against the law.

If you have been defrauded by a car dealer, you deserve to have a lawyer who will listen to your situation, stand up for your rights, and work closely with you to find an appropriate solution. Contact the Van Wey & Johnson law firm for a free consultation.
