Dealer Fraud: Undisclosed Damage

Buying a new car today, does not necessarily mean, that is has not sustained any damage before. Many consumers who buy new cars later find out that their “new” car has been significantly damaged before they have purchased it.

Pursuant to the law in California a car dealer is not required to disclose ALL vehicle damage. Moreover, there are limits on what needs to be disclosed based on the nature of the damage and/or the cost of repair. So, for example if during the transportation of the car from the factory the truck driver drops a chain on the hood of the car and the car dealer repairs it for less than our $500, then the dealer is not required to disclose this damage to the consumer.

On the other hand the car dealer has to disclose anything that affects the “drivability” of the vehicle. If the vehicle was on a test drive and ran over a curb, which damaged the suspension, then even if the suspension was replaced using all-new suspension that would need to be disclosed.

If you have purchased a vehicle and think that the car dealer failed to disclose any damage regarding the vehicle you have bought you should contact an experienced dealer fraud attorney in your state, who will be able to review your case and discuss your right in case of undisclosed damage.
