Default Beware dfw!

I just want to warn the DFW area, or any other interested 350z Buyer.
ALWAYS CHECK CARFAX WITH AN AUTHENTIC VIN
There is a person in DFW selling a 2003 Track edition Z/
They are claiming it is a clean title Z, with around 9X,XXX miles.
I used to own the vehicle for 4 years so i am 100% sure it was the one i sold to them.

It is a Silverstone w/ Brembos
SALVAGE TITLE
i sold the car with 164,xxx!
NO AIRBAGS
It has an HR hood
a double din pioneer stereo
NRG steering wheel
NRG QR and SHort Hub
Nismo CAI(short ram)
Nismo titanium shift ****
HKS replica exhaust

the first 4 pics our screenshots of the ad on craigslist. next 4 our pictures i had of the car when i owned it.
i think its f*ked up that this guy is trying to rip someone off by tampering with the odometer

I absolutely hate people like this who if Irvrioa is correct, go out of their way to stitch people up. I know the saying buyer beware but as cux350z says this guy is committing a serious crime and he needs stopping. Clocking a car just short of 60k and declaring a clean title is outrageous, This guy needs to be stopped and something tells me this is not the first time he's done this.

Wouldn't the title state the mileage? He couldn't get a title with a lower mileage than the previous one.

Wow man. I hate conman like this. I think tampering or falsifying an odometer is a federal offense...

Also many people do not check the vin which is mistake #1.

I haven't tried contacting the police to start a report. Honestly, I think it would be one of those long, slow investigations.
I did speak with the texasDMV, they said they could not actually do anything unless it was a Dealership Selling the vehicle.

The title had printed on there 117,xxx, but they might have messed with the original title too.

bealljk is right, have a trusted mechanic look at the vehicle.
I met 2 guys at their choice of mechanic when I was selling the Z
it doesnt take long and it shows that you're not trying to hide anything.

I would speak with the local news. Some dumbass bought a 1992 Camry locally and lowered the mileage by 100,000. The previous owner saw this guy trying to make a profit, he altered the local news, then a police report was filed.

You are right. But some people are so cheap or ignorant they would take the risk. I love judge judy cases where people buy "as is" and then want $$ back after the engine blows up.
