When you buy from a licensed Wisconsin dealer  you are protected by Wisconsin's motor vehicle trade practice law. 

You won't get the same protection if you buy from a private party or from dealers in many other states.

Wisconsin buyers guide

Used Vehicles display the Wisconsin buyers guide which gives the following information:
  • How a vehicle was used (private use, business use, lease use, rental, etc.)
  • Price
  • Title brands (permanent brands that are on the title or will be on the next title)
  • Make, year, model, identification number, engine size and transmission type
  • Sold with remaining manufacturer's warranty, a dealer warranty or "As Is"
  • Description of items dealer inspects
  • Condition of the vehicle and its safety equipment, with defects explained
Dealers complete the guide based on a visual inspection and test drive. They must disclose any noticeable defects.
However, they aren't required to take vehicles apart to check them.
