Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia

You may have an action against the wholesaler if you can prove that

you were defrauded or the victim of misrepresentation in the

transaction. You will, however, have to return the car to its

rightful owner.

I would say that you can file a lawsuit to have the transaction reversed. The strongest argument I think would fall under the doctrine of "mutual mistake."

That is both you and the wholesaler thought they were selling and you were buying a legitimate, normal automobile.

They didn't sell and you didn't buy what you THOUGHT you were buying and selling.

This would allow the transaction to be cancelled.
