Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 1996 mitsubishi eclipse and on the way home it broke down completely. i researched the car and found evidence that the odometer has either been disconnected or rolled back. the reason that i say this is because on www.carfax.com it reports that in 2001 when this person purchased this car it had 51,717 miles on it. then it says that over a year later in 2002 that the car reported 51,719 miles on it. what are some other things i can do to make more proof of this happening. what can i get out of the seller if this is the case... all my money back? more than my money back? thank you for your help, i also copied and pasted the carfax page with the odometer readings. get back to me asap. thank you good news! carfax search results on this 1996 mitsubishi eclipse gst ([xxx]) did not uncover a potential odometer rollback. carfax analyzed this vehicle's reported odometer readings to determine if any reading is less than a previously reported reading. date reported: odometer reading: 06/10/1996 475 reported on 05/08/1996 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 07/09/1998 16,989 reported on 06/25/1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 08/10/1999 32,576 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10/16/2000 33,596 reported on 10/26/1999 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11/14/2001 51,717 reported on 07/23/2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12/04/2002 51,719 reported on 12/04/2002 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
