Consumers Bill of Rights
Your Rights to Personalize Your Vehicle
ARTICLE ONE:You have the Right to buy high-quality, reliable aftermarket performance and specialty parts, accessories and styling options.
ARTICLE TWO:You have the Right to use high-quality aftermarket parts and know that your new car warranty claims will be honored. In fact, your vehicle dealer may not reject a warranty claim simply because an aftermarket product is present. A warranty denial under such circumstances may be proper only if an aftermarket part caused the failure being claimed.
ARTICLE THREE:You have the Right to install and use emissions-legal aftermarket performance parts without incurring hassles and onerous procedures during state vehicle emissions inspections.
ARTICLE FOUR:You have the Right to actively oppose any proposed (or existing) laws or regulations that will reduce your freedom to use aftermarket automotive parts and service or will curtail your ability to take part in the automotive hobbies of your choice.
ARTICLE FIVE:You have the Right to patronize independent retail stores and shops for vehicle parts and service. The U.S. aftermarket offers the world’s finest selection of performance and specialty parts, accessories and styling options. These aftermarket products satisfy the most discriminating customers seeking personalized vehicles for today’s lifestyle.

I love the Consumer Bill of Rights. I have just been burned so many times buying cars online that don’t exist. I got lucky and found this company called ItExists (www.itexists.net) and I have not had a problem since. They allow me to verify before I buy. I did not know it before, but PayPal and EBay protection messed me over. They don’t cover vehicles without you performing what they call your “Due Diligence” before buying. I guess that means prove that the car is actually there. Oh well, just thought I would share. Professor Don Haley Virginia Beach
