I think you can get your money back and return the car. You entered into the agreement under fraudulent terms. Call the registry and ask them, or the police.

If it is a private sale, you will have to go to small claims.

Similar story happened with me with my very first car about 7 years ago.

There was nothing I could do because I couldnt track down the owner. Ended up selling the car with a 5k loss and disclosing the info to the new purchaser :( Feel bad for you man. :banghead:

fixed. Unless you can prove that the seller bought it with certain mileage and sold it with less, good luck.

Sorry you are right, the way I read his post it seemed like he knew the guy rolled it back. If you cant prove it was the guy before you, you are really SOL.

Probably did a Car Report after he bought it?

Or can the registry depot tell you?
