The title is exempt which understand but he lied about the mileage, saying only 58K. I hope the COWARD FRAUD is reading this!

I hear you that he screwed you. We know the car has 156k and not 58k. Proving that he defrauded you is not so easy. His defense will be that he misunderstood the prior owner at the time of the transaction and had no intention to defraud anyone. That's why the title with the mileage and bill of sale with his signature as an owner is so important.

I understand and not right. If buying a low mileage car u would want full documents showing it from year to year from all owners and not just words. But it sucks and hopefully y'all will get all settled. I changed my cluster to the larger speedo and mileage is wrong but it has 58k on it all I have is a pic. Don't care if anyone takes my word for it but its all damn near a new car.
Exactly!

Give me the VIN and I will run a carfax for you.
The exempt of the mileage law will be determined in the state the car was sold not delivered. Find out what that state law is. Iowa; 10 years ( miles exempt along with damage disclosure.)
The crime here may be jumping titles. That is illegal in my state and most states. He did not register the car in his name before selling it to get around paying a state tax of some sort. Do not lose that proof which means do not go title that car yet. Call the attorney general of the state where the car was sold and report him if it's illegal. They in turn will investigate if in fact it's against the law to jump titles. They have people for that trust me and they love their jobs. In Iowa this is a serious crime. People do it all the time to avoid taxes but you don't want to get caught.
Now with all that said here's what I would do first. Do your research like I said above. He is probably exempt from odometer fraud (because I would bet it won't fall under fraud do to age) but not jumping titles. If you want to keep the car but felt you paid too much then see if you can work out a deal with him before reporting him. He doesn't want the DMV at his door if it's illegal to jump titles and he did it. If you don't want the car then pursue that option with him.
If you can't get ahold of him the DMV will know how and guy's like this know it. I promise you he is reading this thread so here is his warning.
Good luck and send me the VIN

Give me your email address....thanks
The title is from Wisconsin and on it, it says exempt..car is over 10 yrs old. So that means it's the same here in Florida.

Also, I called million times, wrote to him and he has not responded. He's a coward, he's a scumbug, and he takes the pleasure stealing from people. Even his engine builder wants nothing to do with him!

At this point just take it step by step. Don't waste any money on a lawyer you don't need one. Email him your intentions with the Wis DMV and if that don't shake him he's not real bright to begin with.
Not sure what the Wis DMV will do but at minimum I would guess he will have to provide them with a bill of sale from the party he got the car from and pay his state fee's. Then probably a fine of some sort? He won't get off scot free and he knows it because I have a feeling this isn't his first rodeo just maybe the first time he's going to get caught.
If I were him I would try and avoid this by satisfying whatever it is you're looking for here?

Ran the Carfax and nobody's known the true mileage of this car for a LOOOOOOONG time!!!!!
Do you have a fax number I'll fax it to you.

Oh I believe he does this everyday. My fiancee said she thought he looked shady when she saw him the first time. It's easy to spot a shady one!
No, but can you scan it to my email address? If not, then I will have to go to Staples to get a number. But if you can scan it, it would be great. Thanks

The title should have been listed that way according to what I am looking at. But, if it's like Iowa that designation goes away after 10 years, not sure about Wis where the car spent it's whole life. The title changed hands after a 10 year period in Wis so without seeing the title I can't tell you what it say's.
