What is Car Dealership Fraud?

In simple terms, car dealership fraud is any deception or unfair practices carried out by dealers such as selling defective vehicles.

There are a set of rules known as “lemon laws” which govern the unfair practices carried out by these dealers.

What is Lemon Law?

According to Virginia laws, a “lemon” is any vehicle that has problems that significantly impair its use, value, and safety.

If you have attempted to repair the vehicle three or four times for the same problem, the vehicle may be termed as a “lemon” as per the Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act.

Under the Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act the owner, of any vehicle that may be classified as lemon, is allowed to receive a full refund or replacement for all the problems that affect its market value, safety, and use.

You can read everything about the criminal procedure here §19.2.

The Most Common Examples of Car Dealership Fraud in Virginia

The most common Car Dealer Fraud cases include the following:

1. Prior wreck cases where the dealer knew that the vehicle was previously involved in an accident and wrecked. 
2. Dealer attempted to conceal repairs that were made to the motor vehicle that had previously been totaled.
3. The dealer lures the buyer to the car dealership by false advertisements of a price for a specific car.
4. When the buyer arrives at the dealership, the car dealer sells the vehicle at a higher price than that represented in the advertisement or sells them another vehicle. This fraudulent advertising is also known as bait and switch. 
5. Misrepresented to the customer that their financing had been approved.

File a Lawsuit for Car Dealership Fraud

If you believe you have been a victim of car dealership fraud, you may want to file a lawsuit against the dealers.

A key factor in being successful with the lawsuit is to prove that in the wreck cases, the dealer knew the vehicle was previously damaged. 

A victim of such fraud would want to collect damages for any kind of loss they suffered.

However, it is encouraged to contact the dealer first before pursuing a lawsuit and allowing them to correct the matter or try to resolve it.
