clocked car

[m3sye]

A good friend of mine bought a used car privately 2 days ago and he has now found out it has been clock and has 30000 more miles than shows.

Can he do anything ? the seller has has said he didnt have a clue himself?

Caveat emptor, I'm afraid, with a private sale. Unless, of course, the seller guaranteed in writing that the mileage was genuine.

How did he find out?

Think he did a mileage check but for some reason after rather than before he bought it.

I think that makes it an idiot tax then. Not much he can do about it now.

Could if he wanted sue him? or because the car was over 5k would that be to costly?
