Delay v. Hearn Ford
United States District Court for the District of South Carolina
373 F. Supp. 791 (1974)
- Written by Alex Ruskell, JD
Facts
The Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act was enacted to protect consumers from fraud while buying motor vehicles. Under the act, it was fraud for a seller to change a vehicle’s odometer reading. Delay (plaintiff) bought a new car from Hearn Ford (defendant) and traded in his old car. Delay was unsatisfied with his purchase, so he bought his old car back from Hearn. When Delay did so, he noticed that the odometer had been changed on his old car to show lower mileage. Delay sued, arguing that Hearn had violated the act. Hearn moved for summary judgment.
