Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

False Vin Number

I bought a used car from a dealership. while I was looking around I found a car that I liked. I copied down the Vin Number written on the buyer's Guide and checked on the net for any former problems, nothing came up. I then went and purchased the vehicle. After many problems with the car and the dealer, I realized that the vin number from my car was one number off. When I checked my correct vin number I found numerous problems with this car. Is there anything I can do about this matter. The car has many problems and should have never been sold to anybody.

Re: False Vin Number

If the false information in the Buyer's Guide was provided by the Seller and was not simply copied incorrectly then you may have a claim for negligent misrepresentation. If you would like to discuss the matter further you may contact me at (305) 769-3000
