Saint Louis, MO asked in Lemon Law for California

Q: What are options in California when purchased a vehicle at a dealership and was not informed the car had salvaged title

What options do I have in California when I purchased a vehicle at a dealership and I was not informed the car had salvaged title? It was not disclosed to me prior to the sale, nor was it displayed on the vehicle anywhere? I had no idea until I tried to get insurance on it.

A: You're going to have to act from this moment forward, as if you are in a lawsuit. You will need to marshal all of your evidence. You will need to only communicate in WRITING going forward. You will need to figure out how to PROVE you were not told as they will say you were. Here is a solid YouTube channel on Auto Fraud and Lemon Law.

Watch most or all videos (should take about 30 minutes) to get a feel for what is happening and how to deal.

Good luck with it.
