Older used car was purchased without the buyer being notified of the actual mileage.
During the sale the salesman quoted the mileage as being in the 70k.
Upon reading the title after the sale it was noticed that the previous title change registered 160k.
The car odometer reads 71k and we believed this to be the actual mileage.
We feel very misled in this transaction because the main reason for the transaction was because the low mileage.

Most states require an odometer statement to be filled out and signed during the purchasing process. And almost always, the mileage shown on the odometer is listed but then they check the box that states that the actual mileage may differ than what the odometer reads. The salesman can say anything he wants during the sale but if you do not get it in writing, there is nothing you can do.
