Not all states require a salvage title. Any recourse would have to be determined by the laws of the state in which you currently reside. If your state does require a salvage title, then the dealer is responsible for making sure you have that information. A lot of dealers buy vehicles from auction houses around the country and they may have gotten a vehicle that they didn't know that information or the state where it was purchased didn't require a salvage title. So you will need to look at your state laws and also the total history of the vehicle to see what laws apply.
Did you get or see a title when you purchased the car? If the dealer knowingly sold you a salvage vehicle without full disclosure, ask for a refund or threaten legal action. It's illegal not to disclose such info. This is not the case for a private seller.

In most states, yes, a professional dealer must disclose any defect that he knows about. But how do you prove that he knew?

A GA dealer does have to disclose if a car was wrecked. They do not all follow this rule however, so running a CarFax is recommended.
No.
When you find out..I would love to know. I bought a vehicle in Phoenix from Chapman. They didn't disclose it had been wrecked . They bought it back...but I lost sales tax. They wouldn't unwind the deal...I live in TX.
Depending on the state law, you were required to disclose that it was a salvage, it's ethics, however, if you took the car and the title to that dealer and he looked at the title and did not say anything, you've done nothing wrong, but there is the question of why didn't you tell them. But if that dealer looked at the title and didn't notice it, that's different, of course if they put their lawyer on it, then you'll need one as well, remember that part.
