I bought a used car from a dealer in California, in 2006, yesterday we went to trade it in and they ran a carfax report, come to find out there is frame damage on our car. When we bought the car we asked them if it had ever been in an accident, they said no. It was not under warranty or certified. Do I have any legal recourse? I would have never bought the car if i knew there was frame/structual damage to it.
Additional Details
I went and talked to the dealer, he offered to pay the rest of my $8500 loan off, get me a new car with no money down. What do you think?

I would think that's pretty generous, Caviet empter (buyer beware) should overpower anything else here. I would say that you should demand a new car as straight trade for your old one (clearly the dealer thinks he's at fault, although he may not be) I'm not sure what would happen with this in court, but I would guess it would be your fault because you didn't check the carfax
