| I just found out that the car a 'friend' sold me has an additional 30,000 - 40,000 miles on it because he had disconnected the odometer for a while. I must say I am rather pissed about it. Although I am not sure if I am more upset about the car or the fact that I was lied to. I no longer feel this is a person I can trust and I have certainly lost respect for them. I detest liars! Am I overreacting or would you be pissed? |

You should be pissed... 30 or 40 k is a lot more then "a while"!!! ...and that is a serious criminal violation. If this is a person with a vehicle dealers license, it can be a biggie. However, no matter what you decide to do, it won't make the vehicle have less mileage. |

If you're not happy with the deal, call the guy on it. If you're satisfied with the car, keep it. I'm not as concerned with mileage as I am with maintenance. I've seen low mileage cars that were shot due to neglect. As well, I've seen hign mileage cars that ran like a top because they were cared for. |

I would be pretty pissed off. No one forgets a thing like that when selling a car. I usually stated right on the title that false milage is a crime. The guy knew. He lied to you. Good luck, not sure what I would do in the same situation, but you are certainly within the norms by being pissed off. |
