An Ontario woman who recently graduated from medical school says she was shocked to discover a car she bought on Facebook Marketplace had a rolled back odometer.
“The way the used car market is right now it is so difficult to find anything affordable" said Sameer, who asked that we only use her first name.The seller said he could meet her on a street in a residential neighbourhood, but when she met him she noticed it was a woman’s name on the car ownership.
They went to the bank and Sameer paid for the car, but when she went to Service Ontario, she found out the mileage on the car was not 163,00 km, it was in fact was 265,000 km.“I was extremely devastated. I would not have even taken the time to look at this car if I would have known the mileage that it had on it” said Sameer.
When you buy a car privately you don't have the same protections as when buying through an Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council registered dealer which is why you have to make sure the seller is legitimate and not a curbsider.
