Odometer Fraud

[JETX]

Bottom line to all this crap.

None of us KNOWS what the real facts are... or whether the dealership knew, or didn't know, or whether the dealership has liability or not.

That is why my past post is the ONLY accurate one ANY can make:
---------------------
So, your options are simple. Run down to your local small claims (or special civil) court and file a lawsuit against them.
And/or you can contact: http://www.lemonlawclaims.com/odometerfraud.htm

Also, report their actions to the NJ State Police, Auto Unit.

Jet: Gee, you've come a long way from your initial advice. I would rate your last post, considering your temperament, a complete capitulation. You're welcome.

Oh, and good luck to the OP. All I can say is that the dealer DEFINITELY doesn't want it to be known or reported that they falsified an official document. Or that they didn't correct the mistake That is LEVERAGE you can use. Try talking to the dealer first. Remember that even if the dealer didn't know about the problem with the odometer when the car was sold to you (which is very unlikely), they would be required to rewrite the contract with true info on the odometer statement. Otherwise, a subsequent buyer would assume that the odometer was reading correctly throughout its history.

Tell the dealer that cars with "unknown miles" can be worth substantially less (50% or more).
