I am not sure of the laws in your state but you may try to do a small claims case. I doubt you could sue for the whole amount of the purchase but you could sue for the difference of what the car is worth now and what you paid for it. How did you find out the correct mileage?

pretty easy, fixed the odometer, and the mileage showed up nowhere close to what he claimed.

ALOT OF STATES ARE MILEAGE EXEMPTION IF VEHICLE IS 10 YRS AND OLDER. I DONT KNOW IF THAT CAR HOLDS THE MILEAGE VIA THE COMPUTER. YOU MAY WANT TO ASK A CHEVY TECH AT A DEALERSHIP... GOOD LUCK. KP

A civil action could be brought against the seller. But be prepared for a he said she said fight. I think you have a decent case, but there may not be much money to recover. Check out my website www.dcdlaw.net/carfraud.htm for more information.

Isn't it great how on these newer cars even the cars can be smarter than the crooks!!!

going by blue book, i'm looking at about 2k in difference. like i said i have it in writing multiple times where he certifies mileage. However he claimed that since it is a mileage exempt state and he sold as is, he is not at fault. He is obvsiously an A-hole, sure wish that was a crime. . .
