Okay, so to make my long story as short as possible - I was trying to get a new TRX a few months ago. I was going to trade my Jeep Trackhawk. When the dealer that was going to buy my vehicle looked it up, they said it was just sold at an auction and listed for sale and Grubbs Infiniti in DFW. I told them that wasn't possible. It was sitting in the parking garage and I just drove it to work.
After tons of work with the TX DMV, FL DMV and Tarrant Co Autotask force, we were able to get things resolved for the most part. Tarrant Co Autotask force found the stolen vehicle with my cloned vin and I turned in all the documents to the the TX DMV to reclaim me vehicle history.
But now their is still a problem. When I pull an auto check, the mileage listed is 28k. My vehicles actual mileage is 55K. The vehicle still shows being bought and sold in FL which it never was. but shows me again as the current owner. How do I explain all this to a dealer? What else can be done so that the carfax reflects the actual history of the car? Will I ever be able to get rid of this vehicle for fair market value?
Its a cluster and I just want to get a different ride! The only thing I can think of is selling it to a shady dealer that would have some way of rolling back the odo to match the carfax! But I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
Any suggestions or help from the TBH braintrust?
