Dealer who sold car with tampered odometer wins case

[Wildfaye29]

See Mazda 3 Siam far far away liao still buy.

Not smart.

[Roh96]

Morale of story, if want to buy used car, don't bother to verify if ODO is true. Just assume is the mileage is fake so the disappointment won't be so great.

[Jamesc]

So many lawyers in this case.

I learn which one to hire next time.

[Jamesc]

I thought the lesson to learn is

know the law?

[boonhat_91]

No past service records provided? Or those records also faked?

precisely! there is no way to “prove” the odometer is tampered by the dealer

the dealer can cry papa cry mama that when they take in the car, the odo could have tampered by the owner

then have to find the owner to testify in court that on the day he sell the car to dealer, what was the mileage ... may be also need hard evidence?

for fck sake ... just assume all used car odometer is tampered 99.99% ... as simple as that

The key question here is did dealer misrepresent the mileage?

Yah lah even if they remove the sticker

must look out for the marks left behind

on the front and back screen.

It seems that the judge's comments is indirectly asking him to come back again when he has gathered the needed evidence.

But even then, the dealer can claim that they are the victim themselves as someone else had tempered the odometer, not them. If only he had tried to check with Mazda on the service records of this car, this can be avoided. ADs usually are ok with disclosing if the car has came back for regular service or not, the last service mileage and if they are still under warranty.

and so if you want to buy from this dealer, better watch out.

they may win the battle, but lost the war.

Exactly. Now everyone gonna associate this brand with odo tampering even tho they win

[Freeder]

Most probably, buyer bought the car at tok kong price but the mind cannot accept..

Then itchy backsai go and check and found the inevitable result...

So next time buY things, just buy and move on..
Dun think too much..

[Windwaver]

So end up need to pay more.

    Fully agree, 90% are tweaked to make it low mileage to entice potential buyer, at times the number of buyer/s is equivalent to a well maintained car? depends on where it is being maintained by previous owner/s, not merely odometer or change broke pad, gasket, bushing, etc, has proof of receipt is equally important.

I know a abang uncle  buy 1 use mazda 3 also. Less then 1year old 7k mileage. Very good wuhua . After 1 year his alternator fail. He clock 10k only. No 1 believe a new car 17k alternator will fail.

Anw he just pay own pocket. Got a good deal for the car.look nice.drive nice.  Small repair dun think too much. Make ownself life hard only
