If you can prove he did this -- PLENTY. Fraud, violation of the Florida Deceptive Trade Act, treble damages, and punitive damages, are thoughts that come to my mind. There's no telling what else he's done. My practice concentrates in the area of auto dealer fraud. I'd like to talk with you. I'm frequently in the St Pete, Tampa area. Contact me and I'll give you a free telephone consultation. I have a toll free number. Go to www.erobinsonlaw.com.

If you can prove that this is the exact same vehicle, then there may be several remedies available to you. You should consult with a local attorney to determine your legal rights.

If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be able to file a claim with either the Consumer Affairs office in your county or the State of Florida Department of Agriculture which has a statewide consumer affairs office. They will investigate any claim of wrongdoing.
