Auto fraud encompasses a wide variety of illegal practices and dealership scams that hurt consumers. Fraudulent dealership practices cost consumers millions of dollars in unnecessary repair fees each year. Both new and used car fraud is on the rise as more vehicles are being sold by dealerships while the nation overcomes the most recent recession. Unfortunately, car dealer fraud is not typically detected until the damage has been done. The buyer has usually spent too much time and money trying to figure out what is wrong with their vehicle.

Some of the most common car dealer scams involve predatory car loans. This is when the consumer is not given all the information about the contract they are signing before they drive off the lot. We are familiar with fraudulent dealership practices, and we are happy to assist consumers with getting out of bad contracts in many cases. As the Consumer Center for Resources, we are helping consumers fight back against these predatory practices that cost millions each year.

Recently, tough economic times have led to a rise in fraudulent dealership practices for both new and used car purchases. Though dealerships must follow strict regulations, many stray from the rules in an effort to profit more, charging consumers much more than they should. Many scams involve low trade-in offers or bait-and-switch pricing. But it can get worse. Material facts like the car’s condition and price must be clearly stated in the contract per consumer protection laws.

There are many confusing contract tactics, like lumping fees together or providing multiple documents. Other common scams include backdating contracts, selling used cars as new, hiding “lemon” defects, or ignoring cancellation policies. These leave buyers stuck with expensive cars. As the Consumer Center for Resources, we help consumers fight these fraudulent practices and get them the satisfaction they deserve when dealerships break regulations meant to protect car buyers.

The term “Used Car Salesperson” has had a bad connotation since people first started buying pre-owned vehicles. While many do a great job, there is still cause for concern. One reason consumers have a negative view of salespeople is they usually rely solely on making a commission. This can make them so eager to get a sale they cut corners and act shady. Used Car fraud has spiked during the past several years, and we have seen a number of clients fall victim to scams that are not only illegal, but dangerous.

Used cars that have failed inspection or have been involved in unreported accidents are potentially dangerous to whoever is behind the wheel. Some used car dealerships have also been known to commit odometer fraud, where they misrepresent the total number of miles the car has been driven.

Warranty fraud occurs when a dealer tells the buyer that the vehicle is still covered when the coverage has actually expired. Imagine the headache that you would have to deal with when you find out that all repair costs have to come out of your pocket for something you thought was under warranty!
