1. Making false claims (Car has this feature when it doesn't, car is in perfect condition when it isn't, car is unaccidented when it isn't) 2. Selling a lemon (A car that's so fugged that it's turnioniown) 3. Selling a stolen car 4. Selling a car with bad documents 5. Selling a car with certain things don to falsify the truth (Odometer rollback, paint jobs to hide rust and possible chassis damage) 14 Likes 1 Share |

GAZZUZZ:An intentional attempt to hide something in a car purchase that should be disclosed. A car doesn't have to be perfect but if the seller KNOWS about an issue (particularly a major or safety issue), they must disclose it and let the buyer make an INFORMED decision. E.g. no wiping check engine codes to make a sale. That being said, a buyer should also do due diligence when buying. Lemon law for new cars: Although the exact criteria vary by state, new vehicle lemon laws require that an auto manufacturer repurchase a vehicle that has a significant defect that the manufacturer is unable to repair within a reasonable amount of time.[2] Lemon laws consider the nature of the problem with the vehicle, the number of days that the vehicle is unavailable to the consumer for service of the same mechanical issue, and the number of repair attempts made. If repairs cannot be completed within the total number of days described in the state statute, the manufacturer becomes obligated to buy back the defective vehicle.[3] Contrary to popular belief, the dealership has no obligation to buy back the vehicle, because the dealership does not warrant the vehicle, the manufacturer does. This being Nigeria, I think NY used car lemon laws are appropriate: https://ag.ny.gov/consumer-frauds/used-car-lemon-law-fact-sheet 2 Likes |

Its simple....Selling a defective car to a customer with claims that it's "a buy and drive". I think sellers owes it as a duty to their potential customers to disclose informations about the vehicle to be sold so as to enable buyers make informed choices. 1 Like |

Selling upgraded vehicle as it's new upgraded status. Most times, the seller claims he/she doesn't have the VIN picture handy and that you'll get it when you come for inspection, like VIN is a secrete code. Which serious seller doesn't have VIN picture handy? 3 Likes |

Re: What Is "Scam" In Auto Sales by jodecibmw: 2:26pm On Jan 15, 2019 |
I guess Heavenlybang & radautoworks have done well to do justice to the topic already cos as for me it's when a dealer or seller INTENTIONALLY lies, misleads or preys on a buyer's ignorance or negligence to sell a bad, defective, lemon or otherwise car without disclosing all the true details of the present condition of the car to be sold, which also includes documents associated with the vehicle too. Hence hiding fake/false documentation, incomplete/missing documentation in addition to non-disclosure of all issues/faults present in the car are all regarded as auto scam, for instance evil people buy badly accidental/damaged cars, carryout cosmetic repairs on them and sell to unsuspecting clients.
