If you believe that you may be an auto dealer fraud victim, there are a number of steps you can take to enforce your legal rights. You have the following options:
Contacting the Dealer. In many states, if you believe that car dealer fraud was committed, you are required to contact the dealer and give them a chance to correct the problem before taking any legal action (such as filing a lawsuit). This contact may be initiated by you personally, or it may be made by your attorney, but it should be in writing and should clearly illustrate both the problem (i.e. the dealer’s failure of disclosing certain financing charges), and what steps you would like the dealer to take to resolve the problem (i.e. a partial refund of the vehicle purchase price).
Filing a State Agency Complaint. If you believe that you may have been an auto dealer fraud victim, you may want to file a complaint with a state agency that protects consumers’ rights in connection with vehicle purchases. It may be a consumer rights protection division of the state attorney general’s office or an agency specifically designated to handle complaints regarding auto dealers.
Getting an Attorney’s Help. If you recently bought a vehicle and you suspect that the dealer may have committed fraud during the sales process, you may want to speak with an experienced auto dealer fraud attorney. An auto dealer fraud attorney will evaluate your case and explain all your options – including what you can expect if you decide to file a lawsuit against an auto dealer – and will work with you to ensure the best possible outcome for your case.

Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately we are not licensed to give legal advice in Florida. It does sound like you have been defrauded and you should contact a local attorney to assist you immediately. Thank you.
If a dealer inflated my payments what are my options? I discovered or realized this after getting home and looking over my Bill of Sale.
i bought a truck in monroe louisiana. it was sold to me as new, they only gave me one key and said they had to order the other key because it got damaged. i got home and couldnt turn on the serius radio for the free one year service, they told me the prevous owner had already had it activated and i couldnt get my free service. i found the prevous persons info in the truck in the warranty book and called him, he said he still had the key and that he had the truck for two weeks and took it back. the dealer did not disclose any of this info when i bought the truck. what do i do
If you signed the contract with the inflated numbers then unfortunately there is no way to disprove its validity.
You should locate a local attorney who can assist you. In general, you should be able to get your money back or get the truck replaced with a new one as promised. It would be best to consult a local attorney since there might be slight variation in the laws of Louisiana.
I have just found out that I paid a bit below NADA retail price for a vehicle that was listed as a “salvage vehicle in 2008″ I had asked the dealer specifically what was wrong with the vehicle and if it had been a salvaged vehicle, when I purchased the vehicle he advised that it wasn’t a salvage vehicle. Needless to say when having the vehicle for a year I go to trade the vehicle in to get a vehicle better on gas and find out the the vehicle was a salvage vehicle. Is there any hope for me?
I purchased a BMW in 2005 that was returned to the dealer with appx 2300 miles. I gave a total of $22,000 down-payment but my contract only shows $15,000. I have the cash receipts signed by the finance closer but I never noticed my contract until I took the car in for mechanical repairs with my “extended warranty”. Dealer had no records of my warranty so they asked me to look over my contract to establish my coverage. That is when I noticed that the dealer only applied $15,000 OF MY DOWN-PAYMENT On the contract. Now I don’t have a warranty and i want to know if I have the right to get my $7,000 that they pocketed. Btw the dealership has been purchased by a new owner appx 2 years ago. I’m in San Diego.
Thank you for the comment. You have a right to get not only your 7,000 but all of the money you paid for the car and return the car! They lied to you about the down payment and the warranty so the fraud is clear. Give me a call to discuss. We do not charge the client for such cases. Call me at 818.990.0418.
