If I buy a car online, am I still protected by Ohio’s consumer laws?
Yes, online vehicle dealers must follow Ohio laws if they do business with Ohio consumers. However, be careful before buying a car online. If you have any problems before, during, or after the sale, it may be hard to contact the dealer. Be skeptical if a seller asks you to wire funds or pay a deposit to “hold” a vehicle. The seller may be a scam artist who is trying to steal your money, not sell you a car.
