Question 2

Veronica sells used cars. In order to facilitate the sale of a vintage Mustang convertible on her lot, she turns the car's odometer back from 156,576 miles to 56, 576 miles. Georgia purchases the car for 12,500 believing the car has been driven about a third of the miles that it really has been driven. It does not take long for the car to need expensive service, including new tires and brakes, to Georgia's unpleasant surprise. Has Veronica committed the tort of misrepresentation?

a. No, because she made no false statement of fact because she did not say anything.
b. No, because the mileage on the car was not a material (important) fact.
c. No, because Georgia should have had a mechanic examine the car before she bought it.
d. Yes
