As soon as you learn that the dealer sold you a car that was in an accident without disclosing it, you should contact them immediately. Inform them of the situation and request a full refund or a replacement vehicle.
2. Gather evidence.
Make sure to gather as much evidence as possible to support your claim. This may include:
- The vehicle's accident history report from the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS),
- Photos of the damage,
- repair estimates,
- and any other relevant documentation..
3. File a complaint with the state attorney general's office.
If the dealer refuses to cooperate or provide a satisfactory resolution, file a complaint with your state attorney general's office. They will investigate the matter and take appropriate action against the dealer.
4. Consider legal action.
If you have suffered financial losses as a result of the dealer's misrepresentation, you may want to consider taking legal action. This could involve filing a lawsuit against the dealer or seeking arbitration through a consumer protection agency.
Here are some additional tips for dealing with a dealer who has sold you a damaged car:
* Do not sign any paperwork until you are satisfied with the resolution.
* Get everything in writing.
* Be persistent and do not give up until you get the satisfaction you deserve.
