Many used cars in California once served as rental cars, taxis or rideshare vehicles, police units, or other commercial/fleet vehicles. That history matters. Prior commercial use usually means harder miles, more wear, and a lower fair market value. California dealers cannot quietly pass off heavy-use vehicles as ordinary personal-use cars when the law requires disclosure.

Finding out after the sale that your car has a serious accident history, frame or structural damage, or a prior total-loss/salvage title can be a gut punch. In California, dealers cannot hide material damage, frame/structural issues, or branded titles when they know about them – especially when those problems affect safety or value.

In California, Dealership Fraud and Repair Fraud are so common that many employees in the automotive business may not even know that their exaggerations or omissions are illegal. Whether intentional or simply through negligence, The California Civil Code protects Auto Buyer's from being misled.

Repair and Dealer Fraud in California applies to all vehicles and transactions and is defined by the Civil Code as follows:

TITLE 14. LIEN
CHAPTER 2b. AUTOMOBILE SALES FINANCE ACT
California Civil Code Section 2981-2984.4

2981.As used in this chapter,unless the context otherwise requires:

A Gray Market Vehicle is a vehicle that is normally sold in the United States with an express written warranty, but has been imported through a channel other than a manufacturer’s authorized distributor, and therefore does not have an express warranty that is valid in the United States.
