My damaged and total loss Sonic

[ChrisJ]

Yeah,

Who the hell would do a carfax on a new car?



BTW, my Sonic was totaled with around 10 or 11K on it in September of 2012. I almost thought it matched until I saw you said 9K. That and mine was white.

Why/how does an insurance company own a car? Anyone have reasons? I've never heard that before. Weird

they just pulled the tittle up and the company that owned the car was Government Employees Insurance Company in Texas

 

[ChrisJ]

Well,

Guess it explains how you got it so cheap.

haha i just googled it and its GEICO that owned the car lol

 

[River_Rat]

It would seem that there still has to be an original owner before GEICO purchased it as a total loss vehicle.

 

[Bogus]

Haha! I lol'd at geico.

no it was GEICO that owned the car.. Im the only owner on the carfax

Yeah.

That's what GEICO stands for.............
Government Employees Insurance Company.

I didn't even know you could tamper with them anymore. Do dealers have that capability via software?
I thought this was the main thing that drove them towards digital odometers in the first place.

If i buy an $85 BCM for my 02 Z24 I can set the mileage to whatever I want. I have the tool that can do that. I never would, but could. I also have a clean title for the car even though its totaled.

Thats a good reason to not use GEICO in the future..

 

[River_Rat]

maybe it was a fleet vehicle then.

 

[rondoman]

I'd imagine it was a company car owned car by Geico.

I dont imagine Geico is at fault. It sounds like Geico owned the car, it got into a crash totalling it out, then a dealership ended up buying it, fixing it up, changing the miles on it and selling it as new with 15 miles.

Correct?

 

[ChrisJ]

Wait,

Why is this GEICO's fault? They sold the car to a dealer, probably assuming it would be used for parts.

Not rebuilt and resold as new.

No its not GEICOs fault.. GEICO sold it to the dealership that i bought it from.. they fixed it up and put it on there lot

 

[ChrisJ]

Isn't that 9275 miles reported your current mileage?

 

[rondoman]

Ok that's what I thought.

This is 100% on the dealership. They fixed up a totaled car, rolled the miles back, and sold a salvaged vehicle as new. This is some deep ****.

 

[SonicBoy24]

Today i went to Tom Bannen Chevrolet to get over 13 things done on my car.. and they gave me a rental and within an hour they were calling saying I NEED to come back now.. turns out my car was purchased feb of 2012 and then it was wrecked and declared totaled August 25th of 2012 and the dealer I bought it from bought it and fixed it and somehow got the milage from 9k to 0 and I bought this car "new" with 15 miles on it.. so they would not do any warrenty work on my car because all my warrenty on my car is voided now and I already called the dealer ship where I bought it and said I was going to sue and he hung up.. so I called a lawyer today and they will be calling me back.. the dude said I could get the car plus my money I payed for the car and the money I put into this car. Tired of this **** of being screwed over and I will fight this to the end.

You're going to win this case, no matter what, just make sure to get everything in writing from the dealer that told you this.
As they have said, it explains all your problems.
You could def get a zl1 outta this deal, stop messing around with 4doors ;p

I agree I hope somebody butt is in sling over selling that car. I also hope they pay for new car and all OP grief over this.

They should shut that dealer down a federal law was broke ..odometer fraud.
