Depends on what the odometer reads and which region the car is to be sold/bought in.
can a car be sold with a broken odometer?
It is very good that you want to do a VIN check on a used car to make sure there is no fraud when it comes to the odometer. Try Carfax.com. This is a very reliable site and is a company with a great reputation.
The odometer measures the distance the car has travelled.
Call your State Attorney General immediately. The law does not take odometer rollback's lightly.
likely on the back of the odometer, it depends on the car. You can likely find out by calling the car manufacturer
It is, of course, illegal to DISCONNECT, reset or alter an odometer. But also, under this law, for every used car less than 10 years old a person transferring ownership shall give the buyer disclosure of the mileage of the car and it is unlawful to give a false statement in making the disclosure. A person commits the crime of odometer fraud in the second degree if he, with the intent to defraud disconnects, resets, or alters the odometer of any motor vehicle with the intent to change the number of miles indicated thereon. The disconnection, resetting, or altering of any odometer while in the possession of the person shall be prima facie evidence of intent to defraud. Odometer fraud in the second degree is a class D Felony.
No. That is fraud. You need to get the signature of the person whose name is on the title. If your name is on the title you can sell it. If not you can't.
You cannot reset the odometer in your car, however you can reset your trip odometer.
It is the mileage that is actually on the car. If the odometer is replaced, the correct reading is written down. Add that to the reading of the replacment odometer and you have the actual mileage on the car.
no the odometer is for the car not the engine
