Submission Text
As an attorney who represents buyers of used cars, I oppose the proposed changes. The proposal includes information about customers rights -- the "as is" language -- that is not consistent with State law in some instances. This will cause confusion among consumers, and will almost certainly interfere with enforcement of state law claims already available to Ohio consumers. Any "disclosures" on the back of the form will never be noticed by consumers, and this will only allow dealers to escape responsibility by pointing to the disclosures on the back. Dealers should be required to disclose -- in a conspicuous manner -- known defects in the vehicle or the title.
