Steve Andrews purchased a 2012 Subaru from a dealership in Burnaby, believing its reported low mileage of under 98,000 km. After experiencing mechanical issues, a mechanic revealed that the odometer had been rolled back from 112,000 km during a previous recall. Although the dealership offered a refund, Andrews expressed shock and anger at being deceived. Experts warn that growing demand for used cars, fueled by U.S. auto tariffs, may exacerbate the issue of odometer fraud.
Under 100,000 kilometres is a sweet spot when selling a used car.
Experts say odometer fraud is on the rise, and that growing demand for used cars prompted by U.S. auto tariffs could make it worse.
Andrews discovered that at that time, the car's odometer was already at 112,000 kilometres.
I was definitely angry.
