QLD ODOMETER FRAUD ALERT. Mk5 TDI ON GUMTREE.

[jamie88]

Hi everyone,
just a heads up,
the following car was mine, and when sold had 235k on the clock, and was due for a timing belt change.
The seller has "wound" the clocks back to 113,000kms, and im in the process of reporting it to the police and fair trading.
So a warning, DO NOT BUY THIS CAR.
i miss her, and cant believe they installed ugly china lights and red badges, and blue interior lights.and the description is also horrible. makes me almost as sad at the fraud. seriously it pisses me off and i hope he goes down HARD.

just noticed to, comfortline is spelt "confortline"
they even know they are con artists.


DO NOT BUY.

Volkswagen Golf V 2.0 TDI DSG Confortline REVO Edition | Cars | Gumtree Australia Brisbane South East - Kangaroo Point

cheers, jamie

well spotted!

can you report it to your local transport body?
dont you have to have km written down when transferring?

[jamie88]

rta dont care,
fair trading are the ones who issue fines/ persecutions,
police would deal if i was placing charges, which i wont as technically i did sell the vehicle. so i have nothing to gain.

what are peoples ideas on offering to buy the vehicle of him for cheap, as a sense of grey mail?

i reported it as spam to get it off gumtree, so either that or he pulled it, ive emailed and called him. he would be very scared.
