I traded my 2002 trailblazer to a guy in Ky about year ago. Deal went fine no problems. The truck had almost 300,000 miles on it. He has it listed on here now with 77,000 miles. I didn't know miles went down as you drove it...lol. Does not bother me but I am thinking if someone buys it expecting a 77,000 mile truck. That they might do a carfax and come back to me or something. I did email him and ask him why he was lying about the miles. He said he put a new engine in it with 70,00 miles but the add does not say that. You guys know I do not like to start anything. Just asking a Question. What do you think? Add # Ad #1818995

YEAH I DO...if I bought it with the belief that it had 77,000 miles and then found out it had over 300,000 , I would be calling him more than a scammer , I would probaly be calling him long distance..at the BIG house.
You can get in heapum big trouble misrepresenting milage on an auto , especially if you change the odometer and don't reveal so in the sale..JMO

Right I did not get scamed. I traded it for a 94 silverado with 238,000 miles. My deal was fine I just know the truck I( traded him had I think 274,000 when I traded and I just don't want anyone else to get scammed. He has 2 ads. One says in the title 77,000 miles and the other it says shows 77,000 miles. So I don't know what to think I just don't want anyone else getting scammed. If one of you get a chance send him a message asking about the cond, miles, if the engine is orginal. Someone else told me that he said it was a new car trade in that he bought from a new car store. Like I said just asking. I have not been scammed by him at all.

art if you are just gonna try to piss people off zip it all that was being said is this guy used to own the truck and that it had more miles then what new owner says it has which would A> make it a scam and B. make it a crime. so get over yourself paul post about 2 sides applies to mast scammers and is a neutral post till things start coming out. and by the way i sent him a messsage and we will see if he even cares to explain his false hood
