And what legal actions can you or anyone take if it happens with a brand new vehicle that is purchased through a dealer or private seller.In terms of the lemon laws ?
>>29105022Lawyer.
Very common.But you should've analyzed with an OBD2 scanner BEFORE acquiring your car.Anyway, anon is right, lawyer up.
>>29105022According to estimates by automotive organizations such as ADAC, this problem may affect as many as 1 in 3 used cars in Germany, and the figure is often even higher for vehicles destined for export. Odometer tampering is a cheap and easily accessible service, and unscrupulous dealers frequently alter the readings before the cars enter Poland or immediately after crossing the border.As for America, I wouldn't know.
>>29105038>>29105044Im not personally having any issues i was just asking if need be but thank you for the replies.
There is a used car importer in my country that imports cars from Japan and every single one is set to 30,000km. Dont even tear off the maintenance stickers that say 142,726km and varieties above 100,000
>>29105022My family lawyer told us a story about this accountant that purchased a 2018 tundra on a new sales lot at the dealer, that was apparently 80 miles brand new with factory warranty, it just so happened that when he took it for its first oil change he asked the service manager for a record sheet of the work done to it that day.That person made the biggest mistake he /she spoke more than they had to and offered to hand over all the maintenance done since 2019 or 2020. The person took all that , left with no further questions and called him the next day.
>>29105064(Me)In this situation you have the dealer by the balls. You can fight long enough to the point where you could get the money spent back on it and walk out that day with a free car of your choosing.>But.My lawyer is very smart and street savvy he told to keep the car and not take money back from what he already paid.Instead the demand now is that tundra is going to get a new engine , a new transmission a new set of rims from that year , new dash and seats interior, new suspension and so on and if you want to be a real dick head a new paintjob. All done for free.Essentially that 2018 tundra became a 2022 model trd pro.
There are semi public logs of every VIN in the US. If the number goes down it’s obvious.Sales between countries might still be fishy.
I cant imagine this is common in the US cuase waiting for another sucker is easierSo long as you only buy from white people
>>29105022It's mostly a Euro thing.I rarely see this in the US.Not sure why
>>29105022Its not common to get fucked if you are using common sense and checking vehicle history, not buying cars in sketchy situations, falling for deals that are too good to be true (low mileage car for too obscenely low price) etc, you just be realistic with what you're looking for (best example and most reliable and good car for the money) instead of looking at cars like a high schooler (how much enthusiast car can I get for no money, always ends in disaster) then youll generally do alright.
>>29105819>Its not common to get fucked if you are using common senseThis, as long as people look at cars with a muh odometer mindset where they're willing to pay triple the price over a lower number, theyre always open to falling for odometer fraud, I personally like higher mileage cars that are newer, theyre more honest because the car is what it is and you tend to have less expensive age related problems becsuse the car is newer, I'll tell you right now an old reliable Honda with low miles can bite you in the ass when some old seal is leaking and its a subframe drop job, do not overpay for a fucking lower odometer, people cant even see your fucking odometer and I'd be more proud to have a newer car with high miles for the year than an old car that has low miles but its needing old car repairs anyway.
>>29105022>what legal actions can you or anyone takeReport it to the police as fraud and illegal tampering. >In terms of the lemon laws?Lemon laws only apply to new vehicles that come with a fault from the factory (or can reasonably be assumed to have developed a fault because of a factory made flaw), it does not apply to shit that happens once a vehicle has been taken to market.
>>29105022some faggot on facebook used chatgpt to make his car's interior prettierit had a (collector level) low mileage, 30,000km on a 23 year old cari get there and the actual seats look like picrelfag has the audacity to say he just "changed the contrast" on the listing's photos and that the seat had "normal wear" for the mileage
