What is the name of your state? Indiana
A friend recently purchased a 1999 Ford truck at a public auto auction for $8000. It shows 167,000 miles on the odometer but on the title under the milesage it has the word exempt. He took the truck to a repair shop to have the engine checked out and they told him the trucks computer shows the truck has 367,000 miles. He contacted the preveous owner and the guy admitted to putting a different dash in the truck (he claimed the speedometer quit working in the old one). My friend contacted the prosecuter office but they said that since the truck was not offered as a actual miles truck there was no crime.
Is there any legal action he can take to get his money back?
