Ontario woman buys van with odometer rolled back almost 100,000 kilometres

An Ontario woman thought she got a good deal when she bought a van for $2,700, but later learned the odometer had been rolled back nearly 100,000 kilometres.

An Ontario woman thought she got a good deal when she bought a van for $2,700, but later learned the odometer had been rolled back nearly 100,000 kilometres.

"I panicked, I started crying, I started sweating and looked at my partner and said, 'I got scammed,'" said Mackenize Jordan of Oshawa, Ont.

Jordan recently had a baby and with a growing family she said she wanted a mini van, and found a 2010 Mazda 5 for sale on Facebook Marketplace.

While the mileage was 196,000 kilometres, she thought it was reasonably priced at $2,700.

"I saw this $2,700, six-passenger van, all the kids would have their own seats and they wouldn't be squeezed together," said Jordan.

After Jordan bought the van, she said it was not long after when it started to have transmission issues. That's when she noticed an oil change sticker on the windshield that listed a different mileage.

"I was sitting there in the car and I looked up and I saw the Mr. Lube sticker and it said 288,000 kilometres and the next service was supposed to be October 24th," said Jordan.
