Hello Diane, I'm sorry to hear about this situation. In Oregon, if a dealer sells a vehicle with a salvage title without disclosing it, it could be considered fraud. Here are few steps you can take:
*. Report this to the Oregon DMV Dealer Investigations Unit.
*. File a complaint with the Oregon Department of Justice Consumer Protection Division.
*. Consider small claims court if the amount is within their limit.
Remember, this is general advice and you may need to consult with a legal professional for detailed assistance.
Thankyou for this advice. DMV said they are not able to help w/ this either. I will try to contact department of justice. Do I owe you any money for your advice or time please?
