Is it illegal for a dealer to sell your trade in then call you and say you made an illegal trade because it did not have a catalytic converter after you told them up front that it had a racing exhaust?
Yes! Of Course! If you have that problem, If you told the dealer in the first place it was his fault and the liability should fall to him. If he tries to put anything on you sue him. Another opinion: Telling them it had a racing exhaust does not tell them you remove the converter. A racing exhaust sytem can be equipped with a catalytic converter. Be very careful here. First off it is illegal to remove the catalytic converter from any vehicle and carries with it a hefty fine. You removed it, so you broke the law. It really does not matter if you told them or not. Sue them, and you may end up paying a hefty fine as the person who was responsible for removing the converter if they press the issue of legality. Tread lightly and see if you can work this out with the dealer you traded with. You do not want this going to any court of law. You may very well end up having to purchase a converter to satisfy the dealer and keep yourself out of trouble. Just some food for thought on this issue.
