Consumer Fraud & Auto Dealership Fraud Attorney
In 2006 there were 16.5 million new cars sold in the United States. The average selling price of a new car was almost $28,000 and $16,000 for a used car. In New Jersey car revenues were 23 BILLION dollars, averaging over thirty nine MILLION per dealership. Most importantly, retail car sales account for almost 22% of all retail sales.
The auto industry is big money, with a lot of political clout. The selling of a car is a complicated process, one in which you have no real chance to be successful. It is an art: the art of the rip-off. They distract, delay, and confuse you in many ways. After a while you just sign the papers so you can leave the dealership. Does this sound familiar? It should. It occurs hundreds of times every day in every New Jersey county.
Years of litigation has revealed a host of well-rehearsed and unfortunately common practices.
The salesman will lie about the history of the car and not tell you that the car was in an accident or that the car was a rental car. The law requires material facts to be disclosed.
The salesman will have the consumer sign a blank credit application and place false information to have credit approved.
Misleading Advertisements
Newspaper advertisements with fine print and confusing disclaimers.
Window Etching
Appearance Packages
What is this? The dealers will place $50 worth of wheel well molding or pin striping and charge as much as $1,695. There is no disclosure as to what you are buying.
Payoff Trade
The dealer will tell you that they are paying the trade vehicle off when they are actually packing the payoff into the new lease or purchase.
Many cars have the odometer rolled back, either with or without the knowledge of the dealership.
