Common Types of Auto Dealer Fraud

There as many types of auto dealer fraud as there are stars in the sky. In our past cases we have held many perpetrators responsible for many different scams. We have taken on Bob Saks Toyota for establishing patterns of consumer abuse, and we will take on any other auto dealer in Michigan.

Many scams involve financing fraud, such as the financing falling through after the sale. This is called a "spot delivery" or a "yo-yo sale." Dealers must settle the financing before you take the car off the lot. Often, however, they make wild promises without actually advance commitment form the finance company. Then, when the financing falls through, they say "We need the car back, or we'll call a wrecker. And don't ask for your down payment or trade-in, because they're gone." That's illegal, and you don't have to take it.

Other scams involve the title. You must be given a chance to see and to sign the certificate of title when you buy the car. The dealer must disclose the mileage of the vehicle and other important information on that title, and not on any other document. Often, however, car dealers do not even have the title on the lot when they sell you the car and sometimes, they don't even own the car when they sell it to you. Dealers can also overcharge, fail to pay off a trade-in, commit odometer fraud -- the possibilities are endless.
