5 Reasons to Sue with the Help of Your Auto Fraud Lawyer

Has it ever happened to you that you bought a car and paid more than the advertised price? Or you bought a car and it broke down soon after you drove off the lot? These and much more are types of auto dealer fraud. And if you have experienced it then you probably need an awesome auto fraud lawyer to help you get compensated. I mean, none of us likes to be tricked.

Why do you need an auto fraud lawyer?

Under California law, vehicle buyers are legally able to sue their dealer for not telling the truth about the car they are purchasing. Auto fraud includes a wide verity of illegal practices and dealership scams that may hurt customers. Each year fraudulent dealership practices cost customers millions of unnecessary dollars in repair fees. You need an experienced auto fraud lawyer next to you if you want to sue your dealer.

The bad news is that car dealer fraud is only detected when the damage is already done. The buyer has spent too much time and money when trying to figure out what is wrong with their vehicle already. Car dealership fraud is well documented. Salesmen and loan-departments plan everything carefully in order to make extra money from a sale. Here are five reasons to sue your car dealer.

Warranty Woes

The word warranty itself gives you the assurance that you won’t spend on your car repair for at least some time. But what do you do when you buy a vehicle and it doesn’t run? And what if you end up spending a lot of money on repairs, even though the car was supposed to be under warranty? You might be able to recover for expenses and even more in a lawsuit. That means you need to sue your car dealer for a fraudulent activity. However, the terms and state laws differ and it all can be very confusing. For example, if you actually bought the car “as is” and just missed the critical point of warranty while purchasing you won’t have a case. But if you have an auto fraud lawyer he/she can help you know what are your exact rights and obligations.

Refuse to return

You need to understand that it is not like you have a 3-day cooling off period, where you can think about your purchase and then make a final decision, bringing back your car. However, if you have been guaranteed a “no questions asked” return period or any other formulation that shows you could change your mind and the dealer refuses to return, you have a case. And this could be a good occasion to sue your dealer with the help of your auto fraud lawyer. I mean, you might not even think about the fact that you have a case here. But with the help of an experienced and foxy lawyer, you will go a long way.

It is all good

Generally, if a dealer misleads you it is called a “failure to disclose.” It is done in order to induce a purchase based on false advertisement or a false promise. It is one of the faces of auto dealer fraud. Basically, if a seller fails to disclose a known defect you may have a good basis for a legal claim. Remember that your state laws, the contract you signed and the nature of the dealer you purchased from most definitely can have an influence on your ability to sue. Moreover, if your dealer lied to you saying that “it is all good” with the car you purchased, you should think about suing them.

Evidence is all you need

We all know how powerful evidence is. Imagine that you buy a car and take it home. After that, you find out that some things have been done to your new car to make it seem more attractive than it actually is. And when I say “things” I mean rolling back the odometer, disguising frame damage, etc. In cases like this, it can be very hard to get a refund without a lawsuit. So you better start thinking about how to find the best auto fraud lawyer for you, because you got an awesome case.

Breach of Contract

You know that a breach of contract is simply breaking the terms set out in a contract. It is always a good idea to go through your contract carefully. Because you might be told something, but your contract might say something else. You should be careful and know what are all the terms of your contract. Moreover, deceptive behavior regarding contractual bases may be present. That gives you a great case. And your auto fraud lawyer will know all the terms and regulations needed to protect you.

If you think you were tricked by auto dealer fraud scams you probably have a case. However, every situation is different. So first you need to get yourself an auto fraud lawyer. Margarian Law Firm’s lawyers know exactly how to help you.
