The Deets
Okay, listen up, fam. This Ontario man thought he was leveling up with a new (to him) pickup truck back in '23. But plot twist! He found out the odometer was straight-up lying. Like, someone went in and rewrote the story to make it look like the truck had way fewer kilometers on it than it actually did. We're talking a discrepancy of like 44,000 km, which is kinda wild.
He checked the CARFAX report before copping the whip, but it was a whole jumpscare later when the report was updated with the real deets. Now, this dude's feeling salty 'cause he figures his truck isn't worth as much now. We're talkin' a potential L of like, $5,000 to $10,000.
CARFAX Canada was all, "My bad, fam! We didn't have the mileage info at first, but we got it now." Meanwhile, OMVIC (that's the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council) is out here dropping knowledge bombs. They're saying you gotta do your research before you buy a used car. Get a CARFAX, a UVIP (Used Vehicle Information Package), and a mechanic's inspection. Don't be a clown and get played!
If you DO end up buying a ride with a shady odometer, OMVIC can help you out, especially if you bought it from a registered dealership. You might even be able to get some bread from the Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund.
Good news though: the dealership where the dude bought the truck is stepping up and gonna compensate him. So, at least there's a happy ending... for now.
