Disclosure in the Sale of a Motorcycle
Question
If I want to sell a motorcycle and the mechanic told me it’s finished, do I have to tell the buyer that the engine is finished? And if so, is that monetary fraud?
Answer
You need to tell him. If the price you receive is not appropriate for a motorcycle with a dead engine, then this is monetary fraud. And even if the price is appropriate, there is still deception (see Hullin 94).
