    Angry Dealer Falsified Paperwork

    My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: California

    I bought a car from a little dealership. When I purchased the vehicle I had asked where they got the car, they replied bought it through a local (large) dealership, it was a trade in. That they never buy their vehicles from an auction. I also asked if it had been in an accident. I was told no, that they had a car fax on it. Everything looked good. They provided their copy of the car fax. No accidents, no auction sales.

    I recently needed to sell my car, to small. I put it online and a potential buyer asked for the vin. I supplied this and the got back to me that they just purchased the car fax and it showed that we are the 4th owners, been to auction 3 times and had been in an accident prior to me purchasing the vehicle. He provided me a copy.

    It will be 2 years in Feb. since I purchased the car. Do I have any legal recourse????

    Depends.

    Read your purchase contract.

    If you bought the car AS IS with no warrantees or guarantees and the contract probably says that the only things that count are what's written in the contract and anything said outside the contract doesn't count, then you are probably stuck with the consequences of believing anything a car dealer told you.

    They are thieves, you know.
