I purchased a 99 Toyota Solara about 2 months ago, when I took it in to have the emissions tested, something that is required by law in my county, if failed and I had to spend over $500 in parts and labor. The mechanic informed me that the check engine light had been removed by the previous owner or their mechanic, probably to keep it from coming on. The mechanic seemed to indicate that this was deceptive on their part and probably illegal. After all had I known they had removed the check engine light to hide mechanical flaws in the car I wouldn't have paid so much for it. I can't find any laws regarding deceptive sales practices. I have tried contacting the previous owner but he denies everything. What can I do?

The answer to your question depends on more facts that you have provided. I would suggest that you contact an attorney that handles misrepresentation cases and provide them with more information to learn if you have a claim.
