"There is ONE law here buddy - representation! If the sticker says 260 it
BETTER be a 260, otherwise you have a lawsuit. THAT IS MISREPRESENTATION
OTHERWISE."
I agree. However, unless you can *prove* quantifiable damages, you may
only recover $1 - which is not a real threat to anyone. But, the *fear*
or risk of something bigger is what will have settlement value and lead to
yet another groundless lawsuit.
"Whether it's a Monza, Audi, Ford, or Sunbeam, if you don't have the right
numbers to substantiate the powertrain you purchased in writing (on the
window sticker) you are open for a lawsuit."
Exactly my point. You will be open for a lawsuit pretty much no matter
what you do in this world. And if there is a small enough window to get
it in front of a jury, you my be open to a big judgment against you.
