Yep I read that one and basically every other one. Outcomes and situations all seem to be a little different from each other but the end result general theme is no warranty.

Do you think he has a good chance of getting the prosecutor to take the case? It's certainly worth a trip to the prosecutor to find out. I also would find out if any of the local TV stations has a program where they go to bat for you. As I mentioned before in Phoenix we have such a station and they love cases like this.I'm going out on a limb here but I'd think that this is fraud by misrepresentation - at this value it would be felony fraud.
Does the GM really want to go to jail over this?

Who knows, but I think your point about a TV station is good - as is the AGs office.Do you think he has a good chance of getting the prosecutor to take the case?

It is the dealer's responsibility to check. You buy your car from a private party and it is your responsibility - if buying from a dealership then it is their responsibility to correctly advertise the car.Now I feel bad for trading in tuned cars to the dealership without telling them.
Welcome to the forum. Please let us know your outcome also.holy shit this is also currently going on with me as well...
Bought a 2018 car that I was assured still had the factory warranty on it. Few months later, literally days ago, I email APR and find out it has a + tune. This is all well and good as I'll just have it switched over most likely to my name and updated to keep that warranty. At the same time though I'm frustrated as I specifically looked for a car with the factory warranty still intact that I could then mod myself when the time came. I just came from a absolute horrible daily and wanted some reliability security. Going to see if I can get them to atleast pay for the transfer fee worst case scenario. Otherwise I feel they'll probably just offer to buy it back or tell me to pound sand.
I'm currently still gathering info before I get in touch with the selling dealer. I've got proof and support from APR and found out it was tuned by in 2018 by a VW dealer that offers APR services. The VW dealer that sold it to me up here is fairly small and I'm sure they had missed it in their "300 point" inspection bullshit.
Best of luck with your legal outcomes.
