Hi all. Sold my Mystichrome vert to a guy in Texas. A person on here asked me about the car as it is now at a dealer. Carfax shows the dealer had the car 2 days after the buyer received the car. No report of the car ever going into a private parties name. When I sold it, it had 22,853 miles. On the dealerships ad it now has 16,577 miles with a pic of the odometer. It is at RPM Garage in Dallas TX. I am not accusing them of rolling it back but it was either them or the private buyer. I have contacted Texas DMV. Pretty shitty.

This is a great opportunity to extort these mother****ers. Seriously. Be careful as to how you present your "proposition" but this is a straight money maker. Good luck.

Nevermind just read that you already reported to DMV. You blew your wad, son. Next time call them first with the "I would hate for something bad to happen to you" talk. Live and learn.

Thanks but I am not that kind of person. I am not looking to profit off it, just trying to make it right and warn people.

I think you did the correct thing by reporting it to the DMV. The thought to try and profit from it would have crossed my mind for sure but in the end I would have done the same as you did. Guess you and I are not criminals at heart.

Someone should definitely let them know seems like a very short time for somebody to flip it to the dealership only two days after you sold it to a supposedly private party... seems like someone who owns/works at the dealership may have something to do with the rollback. Not all dealers are bad but the shady ones need to be exposed this place has lots of svt and specialty cars and it would be terrible if they’re doing this to all these cars and putting them out in the community. Thank you for posting about this.
