Kinda pissed, who to blame

The car fax reporting the change of frame should have been a red flag to put in the work to sell it private instead.

Instead of being put in the position to take a hit because of it, a seller could spin the fresh frame to a private buyer as a plus.

 

Yes, but you have to provide proof to them and it takes quite a while for them to process it. I had to dispute their report about a year and a half ago. They claimed odometer rollback because some other dealership entered my VIN when they serviced a different vehicle.

 

At that mileage, with a new frame, it would have been an easy sale.

I think this thread is simply one to complain on and nothing more.

 

Because I didn't want it sitting around. I have no room here. I have multiple cars, so does my son. Then there's there's my wifes' car and my sons live in gfs' car. Mostly I didn't want to deal with buyers. How did I get suckered? I knew what I was accepting by going this route. I'm thankful that financially the loss isn't hurting me, and I can go on with my life.

I'm letting members know that what we view as a positive here can turn out to be a negative. No rant, just passing info along. For some the monetary difference could be a deal breaker. If you think this thread is just complaining you can see yourself out, nothing for you here then.

 

then don’t trade it in

 

I'm going to include the phrase "original frame" when ever I sell or trade my Tacoma.

Nice Lexus!

 

Nice Lexus. Life is full of unexpected kicks in the nuts.
