Millions of vehicles that have sustained prior material accident damage are sold throughout the country every year. The law prohibits the sale of the vehicle that has any unrepaired damage, any structural damage or even if repairs were made costing more than 3% of the vehicle’s value. Also it is against the law to sell a new vehicle with any Vehicles sold as Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, meanwhile, must live up to the dealership’s advertised certification standards. The sale of unsafe vehicle is also illegal. The car dealer is always required to disclose any information about the vehicle and give truthful answers to all questions of the consumer. If the consumer asks the dealer whether a vehicle has been in a prior accident, the misrepresentation by the dealer can be auto fraud. Moreover, if the car dealer fails to disclose material damage, this can also be fraud.
