Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

New RV From Dealer

July 2006 we purchased a new 2007 motorhome from a dealer with paper work stating so, since then we have discovered that the motorhome is actually a new 2006. They told us we could get it changed through the DMV to a 2007. The DMV says the motorhome is a 2006 and cannot be changed. The coach is a 2006 and the chasis is a 2006. Our bank who financed the RV is also confused, they realized they are holding title to a 2006 RV when all the paperwork from the dealer says we bought a 2007. We and the bank have been going around with this for months now not really sure whats going on. Is it time for an attorney? Can the dealer be forced to take back the RV and return our money, a year later? Also the RV is being insured as a 2007, if something happened to the RV could the insurance company refuse to cover any losses? Thanks

Re: New RV From Dealer

Did you pay for a 2007? That is were your real damage is. The dealer is in the position to know what the correct year of the RV is. In my opinion you have a strong case against the dealer for at least the difference in cost between an 06' and an 07'; not to mention possible unfair business practice claims, etc. I would say that yes, it is time for an attorney. Feel free to contact me at your convenience, I offer prospective clients a free initial consultation.
