If the car dealership who sold you the vehicle that you have with frame damage knew that there was such damage before the sale to you and did not disclose this material fact to you, if you can prove this non-disclosure you may have the right under the law to cancel the purchase (rescind) or sue for the difference in value between what you paid versus what it was worth at the time of the sale.
