What is the name of your state? missouri
I live in Missouri and bought a car from a dealer in IL. I bought the car (a 1992) with 118K miles on it for $1600 and then decides to run the carfax 2 weeks later; and found out it has 170K plus. The title is original and says mileage not required (because car is older then 10 years old). The dealer swears he does not know anything about the car - he bought the car at auction, told me he discloused everything he knew - I signed "as-is where-is" aggrement/contract with a mileage disclusure and he basically told me to get lost... The bill of sale however, says 118K - to the best of the dealer's knowledge... In the for sale ad of the car, its also written that Dealer does not know anything about car and encourages buyers to take car to mechanic.
The carfax says the car had 170K in 04... The dealer says he called toyota and they dont have any recorder mileage for car so I have to come up with "real" proof in order to get my money back...
Are there any damages I can sue for? or just face the fact of getting ripped off? I bought the car in Illinois - do I have to sue in IL?
a 1992 Toyota Camry with 118K is worth 2600 hundred
with 170K is worth 1600... I bought the car for 1600....
Any advice would be appreciated....
