What is the legal recourse if a manufactured home sold does not meet advertised conditions?

If a manufactured home sold does not meet the advertised conditions, buyers are entitled to seek restitution or file a complaint with the appropriate regulatory agency. This option is correct because it reflects the legal rights that consumers hold in New Mexico regarding the purchase of manufactured homes.

Consumers have protections established by both state and federal laws that allow them to address grievances over misleading advertisements or substandard products. Seeking restitution means that the buyer can claim back the difference in value or request the necessary repairs to ensure the home meets the promised specifications. Additionally, filing a complaint with a regulatory agency provides a formal avenue for the buyer's concerns to be assessed, potentially resulting in corrective actions against the seller.

The other options do not align with the legal recourse available. The notion that buyers can only seek refunds with documented defects is too limiting, as complaints can also be valid even in the absence of extensive documentation. Similarly, mediation might be a viable approach, but it is not the only channel for resolution, nor is it a mandatory step before pursuing restituion or a regulatory complaint. Lastly, the idea that buyers must accept the situation without recourse is inaccurate, as it undermines the consumer protections established in the industry.
