Bill > A1310

This bill, known as the "Used Car Buyers' Bill of Rights," aims to protect consumers by prohibiting certain practices by used car dealers and establishing new rights for buyers. It makes it an unlawful practice for dealers to sell used cars as "certified" if they have undisclosed issues such as odometer tampering, previous manufacturer buybacks, problematic title designations (like "salvage" or "flood"), significant unrepaired damage, or if the dealer fails to provide an inspection report or disclaims warranties. Furthermore, dealers must offer a contract cancellation option agreement for used vehicles under $40,000, allowing buyers to return the car within a specified period for a fee, with limits on restocking fees and mileage. This option is not required for vehicles declared total losses or with salvage titles. The bill also mandates specific disclosures to consumers regarding cancellation rights and modifies existing laws to strengthen warranty requirements for used vehicles based on mileage and to restrict "as is" sales for vehicles that have been declared total losses or have salvage titles, requiring written disclosure of these conditions.
