I bought a 2nd-hand Honda Civic 2004 model last July 3 at a car shop (I'm not gonna name names here). The salesperson told me that the previous owner only used the car going to work and that it was mostly family-driven. The registered mileage at the time I bought the car was around 64k. By the way, I bought this car for 330k.

When I went today to Honda Service Center to have the car checked, I was surprised to know that the car was last serviced on 2008 and that its mileage at that time was already at 120k+. So that means by the time that the car was sold to the car shop (I assume that it was sold to them this year, as this shop is relatively new), the mileage must be almost 200k. The person handling the service of the car informed me that it was previously owned by a company (surprise, surprise). I was shocked and extremely dumbfounded when I learned about this. I was obviously being conned.

I chatted with the salesperson about this and she informed me that they also did not know about it and it was the first time that they experienced something like this. I asked them if they are going to do anything about it and informed them that I will definitely file a complaint against them. Isn't it their job to do a background check of the car? Would it be too hard for them to verify if the mileage is correct?

Do you know of any governing body to which I can raise this issue? This really pisses me off. I was so happy to finally have a much better car (I used to have a Nissan Sunny and then a Toyota Corolla 1992 model). But imagine my reaction when I found out about this.

Hope to hear from you guys.

Thanks!
