Petersen went to Jackson’s home to buy a used car advertised
in the newspaper. Jackson told Petersen that “it is a great
car” and that “the engine had been overhauled a year ago.”
Shortly after he bought the car, Petersen began experiencing
problems with the engine. When Jackson refused to refund his
money, Petersen sued for fraud based on it was not a “great car”
and also based on the fact, as learned later, the overhaul was done
thirteen months ago, not a year. Will Petersen win his case?
