When a dealer fails to disclose prior damage, misrepresents a vehicle’s condition, or conceals known defects, buyers are left with vehicles worth far less than what they paid. Attorneys handling consumer fraud and misrepresentation cases rely on independent technical analysis to establish what the seller knew and what they didn’t say.
