to the buyer, “Look over every defect it may have,” and the buyer does so. Yet had he singled out the defect and specified it, the buyer would not have purchased the car. Instead, they hoodwink people and say, “It has every defect imaginable—I am only selling you the tyres or the head-lamps,” all the while lying and fully aware that the car is faulty, but withholding that fact from the purchaser. This is unlawful for both the broker (the showroom owner) and the car’s owner. They must make the matter plain to the buyer, telling him, “It has the following defect(s),” and disclose that when concluding the sale.

However, if the seller genuinely does not know of any defect, there is no harm in selling the car, provided he stipulates that he bears no liability for undiscovered faults.
