Is this ad's description legal?

[Bumfluff]

Weird title I've picked I know but have a look at the description in the ad. Was just surfing ebay and had a little chuckle.

Probably not the best thing to say "Good for a high KM VT", however i dont think his description would be illegal, rather anyone who put it into a high KM vt and didnt get it properly recorded that the car has a new dash with lower Ks, they would be breaking the law...

Kind of like selling a knife and saying:

"Great for stabbing people you don't like!"

I saw that ad and had the same thoughts... Not sure on the legality of saying that in an ad vs actually misleading a purchaser...

I've become sick of a certain wreckers on ebay listing an item then pulling it multiple times, or even listing the same thing twice.
1st one was a rolling body at $800, pulled and relisted as a damaged car at $1500, and it was pulled and relisted a couple of times.
Latest is an 5.0l engine out of a fire damaged VR, and another ad with the same pic for a fire damaged VR complete with 5.0l engine.....

I've lodged a couple of complaints about this person.

The first one I mentioned had tags from Brisbane and Adelaide, so definately was a numbers job.... I was just looking for another option to get my LJ 2 door back on the road......
Oh well, ended up ebaying some bits and pieces of it, $1330 so far and still counting

I asked a freind of mine he has his own used car business.
It is illegal to tamper with odometer, but perfectly legal to sell a vehicle
with a changed dash cluster complete with odometer.

How does that work out ?

It is only legal to sell the vehicle if you make the buyer aware of the real klm travelled. When trading in a car you will notice that you sign a paper that has on it something like "to the best of your knowledge the registered klm is correct and the speedo has not been changed" etc etc. It is a LOW act to misrepresent what is being sold but a lot of people still do it. A guy was jailed here in QLD a couple of weeks ago, you will find it in another thread somewhere. What I reckon it really amounts to is theft, because you are paying for something you did not get.

isnt the km recorded in the bcm not the cluster? if so this guy is a knob jockey! :booty:

[IIV8II]

it's in the cluster

[debencha]

is there any record of kms kept in any of the computers? surely there must be..
