Damn, can you sue for rolling it back? I know it'* very illegal, so is there anythign you can do? If you ever sell it you have that helping you, but then are you breaking the law cause you know the truth now?

Hmm...Thats interesting since waaaay back in the day (probably early 80'*) odometers have had tamper indicators included. There will be white lines between the numbers that have been rolled back. There is no way around this its how they are setup. I just heard about this feature, I'm not sure it was made standard or what ever came of it or even if there are ways around it. I'm assuming that he rolled it back rather than disconnecting it because why (and how) would he admit the actual mileage? If it was disconnected it would be a guess and I would have only admitted what was actually on it. Otherwise he kept it running normal until it came time to sell it then rolled it. Another possibility, and probably a better one, is that he got a new setup from the junkyard that had low mileage on it. I guess there are a lot of possibilities but either way that sucks. Honestly you could probably go back and demand a good portion of your money back. Even though you accepted it as-is. As-is refers to "as you see it now" and he gave false information. If he says "Yeah its got a new engine. Selling it as-is" and you find out its NOT a new engine it wasen't sold rightfully as-is. Make sense? I'd think you could make a case out of it. I guess that all depends on how far you wanna go vs. how much you spent.

Should probably get that done. On to the report:
