The part where they pretended they’d never driven that car before.

Uh… I don’t think you’re describing an illegal act, which is what fraud is.

Legally, no. Which of course is the most common way to interpret that word.

Did he defraud the dealership? Absolutely! And frankly, good for him. The market for buying new cars in our country is one of the more exploitative systems that our society has managed to create, and that’s saying something.

Pretending you don’t know about something you obviously do smells a bit like fraud, and I bet there’s a weird Latin phrase for it.

But IANAL.

“Fraud” is a legal definition.

“Defraud” is basically defined as “doing fraud” but from context it just means “swindling someone in fully legal ways”

Definitely that too. Anon did break the spirit of the rules, which is the social compact, which is not to say that the compact is correct, or should be perpetuated. It was definitely dishonest of them though. Or at least disingenuous.
