Cаmerоn аnd Ferris tооk Cаmeron’s dad’s car on a joy ride without permission. Afterwards, they mistakenly thought that running the car in reverse would reduce the miles on the odometer, but it did not. Frustrated, Cameron kicked the car, which then rolled out of the garage and crashed. After a stern rebuke of Cameron, Cameron’s dad repaired the car and restored it to excellent condition. He later decided to sell it in “as-is” condition. He did not disclose the prior joy ride or the mistaken odometer attempt. The buyer had the car inspected, knew about the crash and repairs (which were disclosed by Cameron’s dad), and was aware of the car’s mileage, which the buyer still considered low. The buyer buys the car. Has Cameron’s dad committed fraud?
