I bought a car from a private party/dealer only to find out that repairs needed are more than cars worth, then I checked car fax to find out that mileage had been turned back a lot. . This person lists 3-4 cars for sale a week and I can't find any one that wants to help. I know I am stuck with car unfortunately it was for my handicapped son that started college recently and used all his savings for car. I found that this person goes under several names and only location I have is where I bought the car. His home address is unknown at this time. Attempts have been made to contact him where I bought the car but every thing failed and person is still selling cars today. I forgot I was suppose to buy a 2003 but turned out a 2001, if you could direct me to somebody in IL. That can help I would appreciate it. Every one tells me to find a lawyer but all my searching came up zero plus no home address and no help from local law. Been 2 months of digging and searching. Please help.
I bought a car from what I believe to be a private party but not sure because having trouble narrowing down his correct name. He is very secretive. After the purchase I found that the odometer had been changed and my only recourse is to sue him. It is a long story but short version is I got scammed and now stuck with a car that will take more money to fix than it's worth.
The transmission was rebuilt on 11/15/13 at 242,600 miles and has gone out again at 250,379. Many others on the internet have had similar problems with their Rx300 transmissions. My brother also has an Rx300 and his transmission failed too. The planetary gears are often the problem. There should be a recall by Lexus to deal with this defective design.
