Word Of Warning

[jimb]

Just a word of warning.

It seems that every car car be clocked!

I sold my R-reg (face-lift) LS400 a couple of months ago with over 140,000 miles on the clock.

I saw it on autotrader today - advertised as having just 95,000 miles.

I recognized it from the wheels - I sold it with six-narrow-spoke, 16-inch alloys which would be unusual for a car of this size. So I rang the number, asked for the reg and sure enough it was my old car. I even asked about a small tear on the leather and, sure enough, it was in the same place. I asked what exactly was the mileage, so they switched it on and read 95,000 off the clock.

The car is also being touted as a two-owner car. It was a three / four-owner car when I sold it and I reckon it's changed hands once or twice since!

It's just a bit frustrating to see this going on...what, if anything, should I do about this?

Damm, things like this make me glad i went to a lex dealer and not people of auto trader.

Err.. isnt there someone you can report it too? Police? Dvla?!

E&M are always advertising mileage correction etc

Worth mentioning it to Trading Standards, especially of it's a dealer selling it. Can't see how they can change the number of owners though ..... as that is on the V5.

might be an idea to post the number plate on this site to stop anyone getting stitched up who might be looking for one
