Re: Buying A CAr that a been Wrecked
The issue as to the liability of the car lot likely reduces to whether the seller actually defrauded you during the transaction by making any material misrepresentations in regard to the car's condition and in particular any such misrepresentations with respect to any previous accidents in which the car may have been involved.
Absent such overt misrepresentations, I would say you're likely without a remedy since you purchased the vehicle AS IS. (Apparently, you also purchased the vehicle without a Carfax report which probably would've disclosed its status as a prior wreck.)
