A Missouri attorney could advise best. but your question remains open for two weeks. One option could be to check online for pending actions. But before resorting to legal action, it could be worth exploring if the distributor would take back the unopened container of oil. Good luck

An attorney would need to review the terms of sale. Relevant considerations would be the contract terms, which state's laws apply, and whether there was a mutual mistake.

You have the right to represent yourself, but unless you comply with the local court rules, rules of civil procedure, and relevant statutes, you will quickly find the experience to be a frustrating one. It might cost you more in the long run not to have hired a good attorney at the outset.

Q: Can a dealership sell a used car in Missouri with faulty airbags without disclosing it?

We just purchased a used car in Missouri from a dealership. Within a couple hours after turning the car on, the light that says airbag failure is on. Is this something that the dealership should have disclosed or that they should have known based on the inspection laws in Missouri?

answered on Apr 3, 2018

The challenge you might face is proving that the dealership knew of the problem and made a misrepresentation to you. If you can prove this, you might have a decent claim under Missouri's consumer fraud statute, the Merchandising Practices Act. Contact a local attorney to discuss.
