Used card dealer cheated with odo meter tempering through online ad


27-Jan-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)

I have purchased a used car from the individual dealer throug Olx.in, the ad claimed it has run 59,000 kms. When I went to service the car to showroom, I was taken aback to know that last service was done last month and it showed 1,75,000 kms in it's service history. Which means dealer cheated me on this very fact, I have no agreements with him, I only have print of Olx ad which shows his name, contact num., and mention of car's mileage. And service history print out. How can I sue the dealer and the original owner? Please advise.

A very good day to you!!
The facts you have mentioned are clearly covered within the ambit of unfair trade practices under the Consumer Protection Act as well as false advertising. You have to necessarily send the vendor a legal notice through an advocate, so as to give him a reasonable opportunity of rectifying his defects. Thereafter, if he fails to address your grievance you can file a consumer case against him in a competent court. The documents you have mentioned are sufficient to raise your claim against him. I hope this clarifies your doubt and gives you a better perspective to proceed further.

That the receipts available with you is one of the evidence that shows that you have got the service from OLx but it requires how much you have paid to OLx and dealer for this service , it requires for filing cases against those person.

You have option to file a criminal complaint for criminal breach of trust and cheating, but only when you have sufficient proof to establish the contention of the dealer in reference to the distance covered by the car and the condition of the car and other promises. You may also file a consumer complaint if the said dealer is a registered one. Moreover I will suggest you to please contact a lawyer with all the documents you have so that he will scrutinize and give you appropriate advice as in such cases documents are very necessary. Thanks
