| Description of the problem | Dt: the contact owns a 2002 toyota highlander. The vehicle had 49,000 miles on it when he purchased it. Recently he received a letter from the motor vehicle division which stated that the mileage on the vehicle was incorrect. The previous owner had 84,000 miles on it. The previous owner of the vehicle was a leasing company. The motor vehicle division told the contact to fill out a form and they will correct the mileage. The contact was unhappy because he purchased this vehicle thinking he had 49,000 miles not 84,000 miles. The previous owner had purchased the vehicle on 1-22-05 , and the odometer read 84,045 miles. The contact purchased it on 2-19-05 and the odometer showed 49,345 miles. *ak |
