Is it legal for a dealer in Oregon to sell a used car that has been in an accident without disclosing it?
16th December 2010
I bought a used car in Oregon. Checked the Carfax and it had an accident reported years earlier but the dealership did not disclose this information. What recourse do I have?

None. It’s your car. Enjoy it.
Don’t over-read the carfax. It could have been a very minor fender bender in a parking lot. Does the car run fine? Then who cares? Enjoy it it’s your car.

You don’t have any recourse.
The car dealer may not even know the history of the vehicle if they bought it at auction.
You wouldn’t even have known about the accident if you hadn’t have checked the carfax.

No, its not illegal.
You have no recourse.
You had every right to have the car checked out prior to buying.
Next time, spend your money on that rather than a useless carfax.

The time to have a mechanic check out a car or get a Carfax is before you buy the car, not after. The dealer could probably look at the car and know that it had some body work because of the paint, but still not know if it was only a scratch or what ever. You couldn’t tell and didn’t ask, so why would they bring it up ?

None. You have zero recourse.
You had the information in your hand, all you had to do was read it. Why do you need the dealer to tell you something you already know.
Nothing illegal about this at all. The only time it would be an issue is if the car was so poorly rebuilt that is was a safety hazard to even drive it.

First of all, you’d have to prove the dealership knew about the previous wreck. It might surprise you to know that most car dealerships know very little about the used cars on their lot. You could have pulled a Carfax before you bought the car and saved yourself all this grief. After the sale it’s too late, and you have no recourse. It’s your car now.
