Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: A family member of mine recently bought, i believe, a 2001 volkswagen beetle. after waiting a while for her tags she and her father looked into the documents given to her by the dealership and noticed a discrepancy in mileage after they did a full carfax report on the car. the carfax reported that the car had 76000 miles on it in november of 2003 but the document atesting to mileage from the dealership stated it had only 66k when bought in march on it and the vehicle was not sold to the dealership until february with who knows how many miles. i believe that the dealership or the previous owner rolled back the mileage. in my mind it is more likely that it is the dealer. i would like to know the steps we need to take, the information we need to have and how to get it, and who to contact in south carolina (preferably in rock hill, sc) in order to take care of this problem. *ak
