Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This is a concern and i am wondering, if it should in fact be a complaint. i purchased a 2002 mercury marquis on june 12th of 2003. i was assured this, as other autos had been checked out and in good order. i am now noticing the ignition key sometimes does not turn when i am trying to start the car. equally important, i ran a carfax report and discovered on 11/18/02 this car had 27,262 miles. when i purchased it, and because of the mileage, which at that time was 27,279 i was assured this was a good car. i find now, that it was not the retired, senior citizen who wanted a new auto trade in, but this was a rental car from burlinggame, ca. now i am wondering if i should be concerned this car was sitting for 8 months and thus only had 17 miles more in june than in november? or be suspect about the odometer being rolled back? it just doesn't seem accurate a 2002 would only have 17 miles more in 8 months from nov. 2002 to june 12, 2003.thank you.
