#147 of 152 Under warranty - new speedometer was installed by euphonium Jul 01, 2009 (4:04 pm)
The new odometer showed only 5 miles, but when I asked for an explanation- was advised they installed a sticker on the door post saying to add 23567! No charge!   Look for the stickers.
#148 of 152 My odometer was rolled back by 144,865 miles! by moneymoo Oct 29, 2009 (7:07 am)
I purchased a 1996 Toyota Camry from a private party. I found out quite by accident that the mileage had been rolled back by 145,000 miles. I called the guy and threatened him and got my money back. Now, I've recieved a title in the mail with his name on it and my address. The DMV and the Dealer Compliance person told me to just sign it and give it to him. No way I'm going to do that as the next person that gets ripped off will have my address from the title and torch my house.   Who do I turn him into so that this car can't be sold again? Or that he is fined, strung up or both? Replies to this message: shipo (Oct 29, 2009 7:45 am) british_rover (Oct 29, 2009 7:47 am) qbrozen (Oct 29, 2009 8:21 am) british_rover (Oct 29, 2009 8:22 am)

Replying to: moneymoo (Oct 29, 2009 7:07 am) It depends upon the state you live in, but typically you would contact the DMV or the Secretary of State's office and inform them of the fraud.   Best regards, Shipo

Replying to: moneymoo (Oct 29, 2009 7:07 am) Does a 1996 Camry even have a six digit odometer? Ford still used five digit Odos back then I can't remember if Toyota did too. Replies to this message: qbrozen (Oct 29, 2009 8:21 am) british_rover (Oct 29, 2009 8:22 am)

Replying to: british_rover (Oct 29, 2009 7:47 am) I'd imagine it does. My '85 Nissan does, as does my '93 mazda. Replies to this message: british_rover (Oct 29, 2009 8:22 am)

Replying to: qbrozen (Oct 29, 2009 8:21 am) Yeah it probably did too. I worked on plenty of Toyotas from that time and earlier and I think all of them had 6 digit odos. I couldn't remember for sure.   I don't Ford expected their cars to last that long yet.
