the chevy sales manager that was helping me says people trade their cars in all the time and they find out days or weeks later the car had an accident because the report was not posted right away.

my accident was in last december.

So how does that change the fact a disclosure was not made at time of sale or trade in? The accident the car was in was not disclosed. If it is ever discovered by the future purchaser and they want to "unwind the sale" it will happen if a dealer sold it without disclosing the car was in an accident. If a paper trail leads back to you GUESS WHAT.

Wayyyyyyyyy nicer car than the mustang!! Good job!!
thank you. i would have taken more pics but it started to rain.

i removed all of the performance parts i had on the mustang except the flowmaster axle back. i have a ford racing strut tower brace, hurst billet plus shifter, and K&N intake to sell in the forums. oh and a spare set of flowmaster axle back mufflers since one of the tips got bent when i was hit so my body shop ordered me a new set.
 
It is definetly illegal to sell a car in California if it has been in an accident and it cost more that $500 to repair it without disclosing it. If you sold the car to me without disclosing the accident it was in and I found out later I would legally force the car back on you. If CarMaxx sold your Mustang without disclosing it had been in an accident, and the buyer found out later it had been in an accident they could force it back on CarMaxx. If there was a vehicle traded in on your Mustang at CarMaxx it could get really ugly. Same goes with the Chevy dealer. At the time of sale you WILL have to sign a document that asks if your vehicle has been in an accident. If you lie and DMV finds out you WILL be charged with fraud. It will get ugly.
There is such a law, but only applies to new, never registered vehicles.

You are over interpreting the law. A used car is a used car. Can you imagine if you tried to apply this law to every vehicle ever sold!
