Legal Question in Consumer Law in Wisconsin

Re: Misrepresentation

First, regardless of the nature of the complaint (such as misrepresentation or fraud), you should consider that the value would be the difference in value between a 5.7 liter and a 4.7 liter. You may be limited to the difference if you sued, for example. If an attorney gets involved in representing you, you can sometimes recover attorney fees in consumer law cases.

Second, if you have the title and other documents that describe the vehicle as having a 5.7 liter engine, then you need to keep it and make copies of it.

Third, have you done any research? For example, have you researched the going market value for your vehicle with a 5.7 liter versus what the same vehicle with a 4.7 liter sells for? If so, which compares to what you paid for it. A car company could claim a defense of "caveat emptor" (meaning "buyer beware"). If so, then the dealer would argue that, for example, you got a 4.7 liter, and ultimately, claim that there are no damages.

Either way, it is possible that you have a Wisconsin Consumer Protection Act violation claim against the dealer.
