The following is noted (Deceptive Trade Practices Act) within our state of residence:
Code:
There is a common misconception among dealers that if vehicle damage falls below a
certain dollar amount, then the damage does not have to be disclosed to consumers. No law or
court decision in ***** supports this dollar limit exemption. On the contrary, if a dealer fails to
disclose damages of any dollar amount, he or she may be in violation of DTPA.
Regardless of where the damage occurred prior to the sale, I don't foresee anyone honestly disclosing this information to us at this point. If it was a matter of record we'd find it but as you can see this is all the information I was able to acquire. We're very concerned as to the type/extent of damage the vehicle sustained. Again, assuming this is damage (keeping an open mind here).
