I BECAME A VICTIM OF A CURBSTONER ON AUGUST 30, 2004, WHEN I BOUGHT A USED VEHICLE (93 LEXUS LS400, VIN: [XXX]) FROM A "SUPPOSED" WASHINGTON AUTO DEALER. HIS DETAILS ARE AS FOLLOWS: [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] HE DID NOT CHECK ANY BOXES ON ODOMETER DISCLOSURE/TITLE EXTENSION STATEMENT, AND TOLD ME THAT VEHICLES OLDER THAN 10 YEARS ARE EXEMPT FROM MILEAGE STATEMENT REQUIREMENT. HE WROTE DOWN EXEMPT IN PLACE OF ODOMETER READING. WHEN I CHECKED WITH THE LEXUS SERVICE CENTER AFTER THE PURCHASE, THEY GAVE ME THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE WHICH SHOWS THAT THE MILEAGE IS 230,086 INSTEAD OF 86,223. I PAID $6,951 BY A CASHIER'S CHECK. I USED EXPERIAN AUTOCHECK SERVICES AND THIS ODOMETER DISCREPANCY DID NOT SHOW ON THEIR RECORDS. MARK VAYNER INTENTIONALLY AND MATERIALLY DEFRAUDED ME. UTILIZING THE E-BAY MOTORS VEHICLE PURCHASE PROTECTION PLAN, I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO FORMALLY COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ODOMETER FRAUD. NOW, WHAT CAN I DO AT THIS POINT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS. [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX]. *AK UPDATED 07/25/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
