A:
If the seller of a vehicle did not disclose that it has a salvaged title, you may have grounds to seek a refund. This typically involves proving that the seller knowingly withheld information that could affect the vehicle's value or safety. The success of getting your money back often depends on the laws in your state regarding vehicle sales and disclosures.
It's essential to gather all relevant documentation, such as the sales contract, any communication with the seller, and the vehicle's history. You should also check if there was an explicit warranty or guarantee regarding the vehicle's condition. Legal guidance might be necessary to navigate the specifics of your situation and to understand your rights and options.
You might consider contacting consumer protection agencies or local legal aid organizations for assistance and advice. They can provide guidance on how to proceed, including whether you can resolve this through mediation or if you should pursue legal action. Remember, the more evidence you can provide regarding the nondisclosure and its impact, the stronger your case will be.
