this just informs the DMV of the actual millage on the vehicle when it was bought or sold. This information is usually saved in a database tied to the DMV database and can be looked by a future potential buyer. So essentially with older vehciles a lot of odometers only read to 99,999 miles then turned over to start over from zero. So this keeps people honest, if the vehicle is bought new then sold at 70,000 miles a person drives it another 70,000 they couldn't sell the car as having 40,000

What does exempt from disclosure mean on an odometer reading?

It means that the odometer reading (mileage) on the vehicle does not legally need to be disclosed. That is likely because the vehicle is 10 years old or older. There are also other exemptions, such as a sale from a vehicle manufacturer to a car dealership. You can contact your state's department of motor vehicles for more info on whether or not you need to disclose the odometer reading.

Sell car with a broken odometer?

Anyone can sell a car with a broken odometer legally by disclosing in the bill of sale that the "true mileage is unknown". Contact your local DMV - some states (I believe California is one of them) which forbids any car to be sold, or operated without a functioning odometer.

How do you unhook odometer 20056 Chevy Cobalt?

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.
