Hi guys,
It's been a while since I posted here.
I come to you guys asking for some help and guidance with an issue I encountered after purchasing a truck.
On December 23 I bought a truck from some one. He has advertised with 228,000 kms on it. The bill of sale that we signed had a blank where the kms go. I didn't think too much of it.
Fast forward a couple of weeks where a friend had a carproof to burn so we ran it on my truck and discovered that the truck has had it's mileage roller back.
I confronted the previous owner and he said that he doesn't remember anything about that. Later he tells me that when he bought it from the auction, his bill of sale said 170,000 kms and "mileage unknown". The car proof shows that it had 350,000 just before it went to auction.
I asked him if we can reverse the sale and now he refused. His argument is that he didn't know that the mileage was rolled back.
I called AMVIC and they said that they don't deal with private sales.
I am now pursuing filing a report with the police.
Does anyone have any advice on what course of action I can follow to recover my money and give this guy his truck back? I have never experienced such a thing and I don't really know how to deal with this.
Thanks in advance.
