Used Car Buyers | Warning | Feb 2023

Odometer Fraud is becoming commonplace with criminals

Channel 9 News in Queensland approached me recently to comment on the incidence of odometer fraud on used cars

Late in 2022, Queensland Police raided a business in Logan. They were looking for people winding back odometers on fairly late model 4WD’s and SUV’s, And they determined that up to 700 cars had been subject to that fraud. So what is odometer fraud and how can you avoid the problem or determine whether you’ve been had.

Clare Todhunter and I had a good chat and I showed her the devices that the crims are using.

A warning tonight for second-hand car buyers.

Odometer Fraud is increasing and its getting easier for the crims to do it

If you think you’ve been subjected to odometer fraud, you should call the Office of Fair Trading on 13 74 68. If you’re thinking about buying a second hand car now, be careful. Ask for the service history – and if there isn’t any available, walk away.

Or you can always call me – I’ll give you some tips so you can avoid being ripped off. My number is 0418 748 498

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my new website thecarguy.com.au!

I know that there’s a lot of websites that offer car reviews, car road tests, opinions on various cars and the like. What makes this site different is that I’m not going to bore you with technical information about the various cars that I review.

I’ve been in the car business for over 39 years. I’ve read the motoring magazines cover to cover. I’ve read the online reviews until my eyes were square. Everywhere that I go, I find motoring journalists talking about car speeds – 0 – 100 km per hour, standing ¼ times, the inclination of this and that at 150klm per hour on a 12.5% gradient curve, in rainy weather – and other stuff that bores me no end.

thecarguy.com.au is taking a different path on the journey to helping you purchase a new car. I’ll do my best to advise you on what I consider to be the most important information when it comes to that major decision to purchase a car. Interior room, features of the car, fuel economy, safety, service prices, resale and lots more. I’ll tell you what I like about a particular car and as importantly, what I don’t like, to find at least to be less than I think a car should have. .

And I’ll ask for your opinion. Take some pics of what you’re driving and tell me and our audience what you particularly like or dislike about your car. Because besides prospective new car buyers, there’s a lot of people who’ll read your comments as used car buyers.

So, jump on board, strap yourself in and let’s start out on the journey with The Car Guy.
