​“Car dealer fraud” is a term that describes deceptive and unlawful practices used by automobile dealers, at almost any stage of the vehicle purchase process. It is the sale of a vehicle without proper disclosure of known defects and/or dangerous conditions. Common examples of dealer fraud include the failure to disclose the vehicle’s previous use as a rental, existing frame damage, previous involvement in a collision, accurate condition of a vehicle, “salvage” title, odometer tampering, prior “lemon law” buy-back, etc. 

A consumer who has been a victim of dealer fraud is entitled to remedies under State and Federal Laws. Many consumers do not realize when they are a victim of auto dealer fraud. When they do discover the fraud, they often are unaware of their rights. Allegiant Law will help you learn about your rights and bring you justice.
