Syllabus

The trial court erred when it determined that statements by appellant's used-car salesperson about the condition of the vehicle purchased by appellee violated the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act (\CSPA\). Considering the unambiguous language of the purchase contract that indicated the vehicle was sold as-is, a reasonable consumer would not have relied on the general representations of the salesperson over the specific language of the contract. Absent a CSPA violation, the issue of whether the trial court properly rendered its damages award is moot. Judgment reversed.
