Disclosure laws in buying a new or used car?

Question

in north carolina does a car dealer have to tell a customer that the vehicle you buy was in an accident. i just got a saturn vue and have a suspicion that the car was hit in the front end or in the drivers side of the car

Answer 1

usually only if damage was over 25% of the value of the vehicle AND the dealer knows about it.

Answer 2

That relies on the dealer knowing about an accident.  We get cars all the time that have been in undisclosed accidents.  Customers are never going to tell us "Oh yeah, I hit a tree and had teh front end rebuilt".

Answer 3

Well, you got the car inspected first, so there was no mystery here.

Oh no, you are another one of those buyers...you still have no recourse.
