Hello All,

How would you feel if someone sold you a lemon without disclosing all the
facts to you? Full disclosure makes sense.

Nobody has ever been successfully sued over disclosing too much. However, the
courts are full of cases of everything from innocent omissions to full blown
fraud.

BTW I seem to recall a law in California that says a vehicle damaged then
subsequently repaired (as long as it was not declared "totaled") may be sold
without disclosure of the previous damage. Still doesn't sound moral to me.
This law, of course, was sponsored by your friendly neighborhood insurance
companies. That way, you can't sue them for a new car replacement in the
event of a "non-total" fender benders. Said law should be similar in other
states. Ya know, Californee's gotzz more than cheese. Vehicle code
trendsetters -- we are.
