Right, what I was getting at is, the dealer misrepresented the Segway to you. Regardless of whether the misrepresentation was intentional, this gives you the right, if you want, to return the Segway for a refund, and to take the dealer to court if he refuses.
However, if you don't have anything in writing that says the mileage is 829 miles, the problem is that the dealer will probably just say "I never said that" in court, and you may lose your case. Verbal representations are still binding - but you have to prove that they happened, which is often impossible.
There is also a practical question involved. Most areas are lucky if they have even one Segway dealer nearby, and if you sue this dealer, he is under no obligation to ever do business with you again. (He could choose not to do business with you for any reason, except for race/religion/gender/etc.)
Like KSagal said, a Segway with high mileage is not necessarily a bad Segway, and if you are satisfied with the value you got out of this deal, even though the dealer misrepresented it, then you might be better off just keeping the Segway, especially if you have no written proof of the misrepresentation.
