Two years ago I purchased a used vehicle from a dealership with 22,178 miles on it. I recently went to trade the vehicle in for a newer vehicle at a different dealership as the dealership that I bought the vehicle from has since gone out of business. When the carfax was pulled, something I neglected to request from the original dealership, I was told the actual mileage of the vehicle when I bought it was 155,746. Understandably the dealership refused to take my vehicle as trade because the millage had been altered. The title I received when I bought the vehicle and all paperwork associated with the sale stated that the vehicle had 22,178 miles. I have tried multiple times through email and phone to get into contact with the owner of the dealership that I bought the vehicle from but I have received no response from him. I am not even sure that the phone number I have is still his; there is no recorded message and the mailbox is full. I have also reached out to the DMV, the local police department, and the department of justice but I have received very little help from those departments.
If anyone on here could give me any advice as to the steps I could take to resolve this issue I would appreciate it very much. I am beginning to think that there is very little that I can do about this.
