On October 22, 2023, I saw an post on ******** Marketplace for a 2014 ***** CRV being sold by *******************. The post stated that the car had ****** miles, a clean title, and a selling price of $10,999. I messaged ***, asking if the car indeed had ****** miles, and he confirmed. So, we arranged to meet at 3:15 pm at Global Motor Auto Sales.Upon my arrival, he began to tell me a story about how he had obtained the car at a low price because the previous owner couldn't make their payments. He explained that he just wanted a quick sale for fast cash turnaround. He assured me that the car had no issues, a clean title, no accidents, low mileage, and even showed me an inspection report from August 2023. We did a brief test drive in the parking lot. I Zelled him a $500 deposit, agreeing to return the next day to sign the contract.On October 23, 2023, at 5:30 pm, we met again at Global Motors Auto Sales.I gave him $10,500 cash. He started talking about how popular the car was. During our conversation, he showed me the car's title, which indicated a mileage of ****** as of 2022, and he highlighted it. It seemed reasonable to think that the car had accumulated an additional ****** miles in one year. He then pointed to the signature line and had me quickly sign all the paperwork.It wasn't until I contacted the insurance company to insure the car that I discovered the actual mileage of the car. On the contract, he had written down ******* miles, not ******, and he had not disclosed this information. In fact, he hadn't explained any of the terms on the contract to me. The only document he showed me was the previous title, which showed ****** miles in 2022. He had also disabled the feature that displays the car's mileage when we test drove it, a feature that's different from other cars.I immediately messaged him and called his business, but received no response. When I visited the store, it was closed. I could not get in touch with *** or the business ever since.Business response
