Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

I purchased a 350z with low mile and a car fax report from them back in 2015,I got into a slight fender bender this year 2017, My body shopp told me this car has been in an accident? I look back at the Car fax show no accidents so I paid for my own Carfax and it showed aan accident back in 2006-They doctorer their Car fax in my opion to show no accidents I would not buy from this dealershikp or and dealership conneted to this owner.  This is with my attorney and dept of consumer affairs. All dealerships have to disclose if any car sold has been in an accident regardless of car fax or not.

Florida Statute Chapter 501.976 states: It is an unfair or deceptive act or practice, actionable under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, for a dealer to represent orally or in writing that a particular vehicle has not sustained structural or substantial skin damage unless the statement is made in good faith and the vehicle has been inspected by the dealer or his or her agent to determine whether the vehicle has incurred such damage.

So, if the dealer has determined the vehicle has not sustained structural or substantial damage then it appears they are not required to inform the buyer of that damage. That statute conflicts with your claim, “All dealerships have to disclose if any car sold has been in an accident…”

Some of the Florida Statutes range from Chapters 900-985 and 1000-1013 but I was unsuccessful at locating Chapter 996. That statute may support your claim so perhaps I overlooked it. Please verify the Chapter and repost. Thanks.

How can you be sure the Carfax report was altered? It’s possible that Carfax, Inc. didn’t have that info in their records back in 2015.

Auto dealers don’t always know the history of the used vehicles they sell. Not all accidents are reported to the police or Carfax, Inc. Can you substantiate your claim that auto dealers are required to provide an accident history? What law or ordinance dictates that requirement?

Do you own a dictionary?
