Were You Taken Advantage of By Dishonest Sales or Repo Tactics?
The car sales profession is the subject of countless jokes and has probably been so since the first "horseless carriages" were made available for sale.

Common Types of Auto Fraud
The types of auto fraud being practiced at car lots around the country are limited only by the imaginations of the unethical business people who develop and use these scams to take advantage of honest consumers.
Odometer Rollbacks
Altering or rolling back an odometer reading to trick a buyer into believing a vehicle has lower mileage is a direct violation of state and federal law.
Undisclosed Vehicle Damage
Dealerships or sellers act illegally when they fail to inform buyers that a vehicle has suffered structural damage from floods, fires, or serious accidents.
Bait-and-Switch Tactics
Bait-and-switch scams occur when a business misrepresents a vehicle's price or features at the point of sale to lure in buyers before switching the terms.
Bad Faith Warranty Denials
Auto manufacturers and warranty providers commit bad faith when they unreasonably refuse to honor a valid repair claim under an active warranty.
Warranty Coverage Misrepresentation
Dealerships engage in fraud when they falsely tell buyers a vehicle includes comprehensive warranty coverage that does not actually exist.
Misrepresenting Rental or Demo Vehicles
Selling a former rental car or dealership demonstration vehicle as a brand-new automobile deceives buyers regarding its true wear and history.
Hiding Defects with "As-Is" Sales
Sellers cannot use an "as-is" clause as a legal shield to deliberately conceal known, serious safety defects from unsuspecting buyers.
Yo-Yo Sales & Spot Delivery Scams
Yo-yo financing schemes involve falsely telling a buyer their financing is complete, letting them drive off, and then wrongfully repossessing the car to force higher loan terms.
Failure to Provide Vehicle Title
Lenders and dealerships commit actionable consumer violations when they take a buyer's money but fail to promptly transfer a clean legal vehicle title.
