If a seller failed to tell you that car has salvaged title do have any legal consumer rights in California?

In California, if a car has a salvaged title, the seller is required by law to disclose that information to the buyer before the sale. If the seller does not disclose this, the buyer may have several legal consumer rights, including:

- The right to rescind the sale: The buyer can cancel the sale and get a full refund.

- The right to damages: The buyer can seek damages for any losses they suffered due to the failure to disclose, such as the cost of repairs, loss of value of the car, or emotional distress.

- The right to sue for fraud: In some cases, the buyer may be able to sue the seller for fraud if they intentionally concealed the salvaged title.

To protect yourself when buying a used car in California, you should always ask the seller for the car's title and check for any "salvage" or "rebuilt" brands. If you are not sure whether a title is salvaged, you can also get a vehicle history report from the DMV or a private company.

If you have purchased a car with a salvaged title and the seller failed to disclose this, you should contact a consumer protection attorney to discuss your legal rights and options.
