I have a question concerning vehicles sold with this illegal tint.

Say you tint you windows to a level which is not legal and then you sell the vehicle, with the illegal tint, to a second party; do you have to disclose that the tint is done to an illegal level? Could the second party file for damages (ie. cost of removing tint, fines related to illegal tint) if they get pulled over?

Just curious to see if anyone knows how the law system handles these types of matters.

I know that, where I live, when it comes to real estate matters that if problems are not disclosed by the seller that they can be held liable. This of course is related to real estate which deals with much larger amounts of money but I'm wondering if car sales would be similar.

I guess there is always the "sold as is" clause or whatever.

I'm not sure what the laws are there, but here you MUST disclose anything like that that you know of. Here, you would be help responsible if it could be proven that you knew. I recently sold a car with illegal tint. I told them it was illegal and I was covered. Saw the car on the road a few weeks ago, still had the same tint.
