Of course it is your responsibility because the damage occurred while it was in your possession.

Keep in mind that they can hold off the registration of your new car until this is resolved.

Not sure how much damage it has in term monetary term. If it is in the thousands, the dealer will sue you for sure.

Hello, so I have a few questions. I recently decided to trade my 2012 370z 7AT for a 2017 370z M6. They looked over the car yesterday, and we went through all the paperwork of applying for financing etc. Well last night it hailed and I took quite a bit of damage to the car. I received financing today and brought the Z to the dealership. They never said anything about the dents so I assumed whatever. We preceded with the sale and finalized everything. I recieved a text two hours after purchase with them requesting for me to file a claim on the car because of the hail. Is this still my responsibility and If I didn't file could they take the car back? Thanks for any and all help!

This person knew what's up and only asking for advise because he knows he's in the wrong.

I think that's a different situation. Usually state laws hold dealers accountable for their representation of cars, while private parties selling cars are presumed to be selling "as-is." The lawyers would need to sort this out.

I would be very surprised if the OP's insurance company will cover the car now since it's now in the physical and probably legal possession of the dealership, and the OP likely already informed the ins co that he no longer owned it when he obtained coverage for his new car. This would have been much less of a headache if the OP had come clean at the time of the trade.

I would have done the right thing and told them about the damage that occurred and if they wanted me to file a claim do it. You can still do the right thing and file the claim, it's a comprehensive claim so your insurance won't go up. If the insurance says you can't because it was already in their possession then so be it, at least you tried. Why have this hanging over your head...

as far as coverage goes, it is based on the date/time of the damages. this occurred when the OP still has the coverage for the car. it doesn't really matter who own the car afterward. furthermore, I am quite sure that the actually ownership transfer of both cars won't be done til this is resolved.

I agree with you guys that the OP should have been honest about the damage upfront.
