Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Susanne has committed fraudulent misrepresentation by lying to Logan about the condition of the car. If it turns out that there is something wrong with the car, Logan may sue Susanne for damages. He may also have the option to return the car and receive a refund, but this will depend on the specific terms of the sale agreement. The fact that Susanne originally said she was unsure about the condition of the car and would get it checked implies that she knew there may be problems with it, making her lie to Logan even more egregious.
