Makes no difference in a court a of law if I was a knowledgable buyer or not. The fact that I did not know enough at the time to destinguish between a fake or the real thing has no bearing on the fact that the seller committed fraud. Check with your local law enforcement. If the law was to read "buyer beware" could you imagine the amount of fraud that would take place then, we as consumers would be in grave danger. If the laws worked backwards like you are saying then the consumer would have no legal ground to stand on. This carries over to everything in daily life that we as a consumer are purchasing. Fraud laws do not destinguish between auto transactions and other goods. Fraud comes in all shapes and sizes and dollar amounts. If you were to order a brand new top of the line DELL pc from DELL and find out later it was only a case with the name DELL on it and in fact it was the cheapest pc made, would you take action against Dell for advertising and selling you a pc for top dollar or say, my fault, I should have known more about pc's to now that DELL is not selling what it is advertising? Would you say that is not DELLS fault? Or would you accept fault for being an uneducated consumer. It is all the same. What you are saying is I just payed $5,000 for what DELL sayed was their best PC and what I got was a $100 knock-off. In your eyes then that is your fault not DELL's? It is the same thing under the fraud laws.
