This week, a Maryland judge found automotive retail giant CarMax in contempt of court for failing to abide by a 2008 class-action settlement, requiring it to disclose to customers if a car has ever been used as a rental, according to a report in The New York Times. Maryland law requires auto dealers to tell customers if a car has been used for any purpose other than consumer use.
