I was reading code 30126, used motor vehicles. It is not specific about which safety hazards are enforced by the law. I want to know what gives a dealer a right to sell a used vehicle which has a bent and cracked frame and a clean title. No "as is " sale should be a justification for lack of safety regarding human life. He will not refund my money. Is this legal" what are my rights" please advise. Thank you.
