Buying a car should be a joyous occasion, but sometimes it is fraught with deception.  Car dealership fraud takes on many shapes and sizes.  Some common deceptive techniques used by car dealers is:

• undisclosed wreck damage;
• yo-yo financing;
• misrepresenting finances on credit applications;
• selling a vehicle as Certified Pre-Owned when it is not;
• selling lemons;
• unlawful repossessing a vehicle; and
• improper post-repossession collection.

This list, however, is not exhaustive.  Car dealerships get creative on how to maximize profits–at any expense.
