I recently bought a used car in the state of Washington. I just ran a vehicle history report and discovered that the odometer had been rolled back some 90,000 miles.

I then reviewed the paperwork from the dealer and sure enough, there was the document stating the odometer was not correct. I had signed it.

I am sure that it was not brought to my attention, and it was one of many documents that was shoved in front of me to sign. Is there any recourse I can make against the dealership in this case?

Thanks,

Alan

My response:

Nope. You bought a car. The presumption under the law is that you are presumed to have read and understood each term and condition of a contract. If you failed to take the time to read each and every bit of paper shoved in front of you, then you assumed the risk and bought a car. You can't even rely on the old "defense" that you trusted them to sell you a car that was not "rolled back" because a separate document in that regard was shown to you, and you signed it, acknowledging that the problem could (or does) exist.
