Does an Auto Dealer have a responsibility to disclose known defects to a perspective buyer? Is the answer different if the dealer claims the vehicle was his personally? If so, what are the consequences of not dislosing this information?

Re: As Is
If he is a dealer, the law applies to him if he sells it thru the dealership. then if he lies to you, it violates the statute. If he doesn't sell it thru the dealership, then it doesn't apply. The statute, Idaho Code section 48-603 applies only to the conduct of trade or commerce, which means that the dealership must comply with the statute, but not the salesman if he sells the car on his own.
