appraisal of motorhome

[Gregory OConnor]

I would only make an effort to prove that the dealer knowlingly made
the change and demand a refund with cost or an amount that would have
adjusted your purchase decision baced on the odometer reading. Its
about the damage the odometer made on YOUR actual purchase decision.

I bet market value of a bus with 70,000 is close or the same as market
value of a bus with 25,000. An apprisal is so off the mark here
because the dealer could have one done on the two M380 milage senerios
then there would be 4 appraisals and one actual market result (your
purchase). "When the five dont jive" in court, (you can tell I
followed the OJ thing) the money spent on appraisals will prove them
non productive effort. If you ask for a high value the dealer will
have 'what if' appraisals done at his expence anyway.

I would look for published numbers to find a high recovery. use one
of the car dealer NADA books to show % of value baced on miles (for
several vehicles with a justification of the choice)and do the math
for the judge. You can find formulas that make your recovery number
high. Once you prove dealer spun the odom, All the judge needs is a
formula to help you stick it to the dealer.

Court action is too polite and expensive. Mix it up, have him served
by a competitor, his nextdoor neighbor or xwife. Be visible with your
discovery and assesment of potential recovery assets. Stay pissed
until made whole.

Was the dealers name BigBob?
