When did you sign the contract and buy the car?
Is this a dealership or private seller?

Various consumer protection legislation give you rights in this case (i.e. Motor Vehicles Dealership Act, Consumer Protection Act) https://www.omvic.on.ca/portal/Consumers/ConsumerProtection/KnowYourRights.aspx

The first steps may be to approach the dealership and demand compensation and/or a full refund. If they refund your money and take back the car, then the issue is pretty much resolved so there would be no need to sue. If, however, they refuse, you would have a very strong case for a lawsuit for Fraud, Misrepresentation, Breach of Contract, and other such causes of action.

Does that answer your question?

You can advise him that under the Motor Vehicles Dealership Act, Consumer Protection Act, you have the right to cancel the contract. Specifically:

When you buy a vehicle, a dealer must give you the most accurate information available about a vehicle’s history and key features. If certain information is missing you have 90-days to cancel the contract. If any of the information below is not accurate, you can cancel within 90 days:

  • odometer reading (or a statement that distance travelled is not available)
  • make, model and year
  • whether the vehicle has been “branded” by the Ministry of Transportation as salvage, rebuilt or irreparable
  • accurate details of past use (e.g., if the vehicle was used as a taxi, limousine, rental car, police or emergency vehicle)

Does that answer your question?
