Bought New Z -undisclosed damage

I doubt local law enforcement is going to care or be of any help here. They are surely more focused on murders, tapes, violent crimes, etc than car fraud, which I get. Besides, the local podunk dealer probably gives to local police fundraisers or knows local officials and is “a pillar of the community”. I doubt an out of state individual from Texas (they don’t care for anyone from out of state) would get a fair shake, having lived in New Orleans for 2 years and seeing how some things work in LA. They will take care of their own.

Car sat in storage for two years awaiting court date. Dealer finally offered to settle the day before court. Judge kicked case out the next morning stating, "The car looked new to him." Deal was off. I was Fuc#$d.
