My old Mystichrome at a dealer with rolled back odometer

[funmoneypit]

You sold it in 2015?

Kind of funny that I bought mine in Feb of 2015. But it's a coupe.

No I bought it actually in 2016. Fat finger mess up.

Wouldn’t a carfax reveal this to a perspective buyer? Since anytime it changes hands the mileage is documented.. I know even just an inspection sticker in La documents the mileage..

Can you prove the 22k+ miles at time of transfer?

Here's a pic from my for sale ad.

Not necessarily. There isn't any miles listed when I bought it. Most states are mileage exempt after 10 years. It will only get documented when a dealer or shop reports it.

Hm. Hard saying. The picture doesn't prove anything legally.

Someone should definitely let them know seems like a very short time for somebody to flip it to the dealership only two days after you sold it to a supposedly private party... seems like someone who owns/works at the dealership may have something to do with the rollback. Not all dealers are bad but the shady ones need to be exposed this place has lots of svt and specialty cars and it would be terrible if they’re doing this to all these cars and putting them out in the community. Thank you for posting about this.

They have been notified. I sent them an email and many others have asked why the mileage discrepancy.

Yeah I know. I gave a pi

Yeah I know. I also have a pic of my title still showing my name and the VIN but yeah, difficult to prove.

 

[Papaw]

Seem kind of odd that they would go to the trouble to roll it back just 4K.

I mean, it just doesn't prove anything. That could be a photo from any Cobra.

Did you have to write the mileage on a bill of sale, or on the title at the time you sold it?

that’s true… after 10 years ya don’t have to verify it..

I did write the mileage on the title but that is gone now of course. Texas is a mileage exempt state so it won't be recorded on the new title.

OP here. I just talked to the owner of RPM. He says they did not roll back the mileage and honestly I believe him. This is an amateur move. Like he said, rolling it back 6000 miles isn't going to raise the resale value. He is pretty upset too. I gave him the number of the person I bought it from. He says it is going to auction.

I’m glad I PMd you before going to look at the car. That dealership has a decent reputation, so it really wouldn’t make sense for them to take that kind of risk for such a small rollback.

I'm glad you did too. Made for an interesting day, lol. I agree, this was the guy that bought it from me. I sent him a text but of course no reply.

Isn't RPM obligated by law to perform their due diligence and investigate the mileage discrepancy prior to auction?

 

[CobraBob]

Can it go to auction with a noted discrepancy with the odometer?

Say what!! Sell it at auction so someone else can be deceived.

Well now that they have been notified if they knowingly send to auction hiding the milage info. Could come back to bite them big time.
