Tampa resident Lonnie Williams' search for a truck ended with an online dealer ad for a 2007 Ford F-150. The ad said the truck had 171,000 miles on it. And according to Williams' bill of sale from 813 Wheels and Deals LLC in Tampa, the mileage was just over 174K.
"I didn't want the risk of someone else purchasing it and me missing out on the deal," Williams said. In addition, Carfax places Tampa in the top 20 of more than 200 metro areas in the U.S. for the same reason. The area is home to an estimated 18,000 vehicles with false odometer readings. After finding out about the odometer, Williams asked 813 Wheels and Deals LLC for a full refund but said the dealer refused, telling him the vehicle was sold"as is."
