(Not sure if this counts as a sales post) Just a couple weeks ago in the streets of Chicago I bought a Rav4 with “94,000” Miles on it, I bought for $12,000 with cash, I drove it home, title in hand, not thinking much of it, After a week or two I soon realized the car was running horribly. I ran Carfax and it turns out the odometer was rolled back by over 130,000 miles.
I checked the title and it’s not the same name as the person who had the car listed. Going to be contacting the police tomorrow to see what happens. CarFax is reporting the car had 4 different owners so it can’t be that hard tracking the guy down right?
Just wondering what are my chances of getting in a courtroom with this guy? Moneys a bit tight and I can’t sell this car with the current odometer because it’s illegal.
CarFax mileage isn’t always right. Especially if the last odometer reading was at an emissions testing place. Those people don’t pay attention. I bought a 2014 Prius 2 years ago with 6.6k miles. CarFax showed the car was last recorded with 66k miles at the emissions test facility Because they made an error.( I had copies of all the service records proving the car only had 6.6k on it)
