Depends on the state where the car is being sold. It is against the law to sell a vehicle in most states without notifying the buyer in writing that the odometer does not work and the mileage is unverifiable. It is also illegal in some states to even sell a vehicle with an inoperable odometer.

Can you return a used car if you later find out through Carfax that there has been a possible odometer rollback?

You won't be able to return the car, but, if you find enough evidence, and if the transaction wasn't that long ago, you may be able to bring litigation against the person who sold you the car. Tampering with odometer readings is a federal offense. Whether tampering is done by a backyard mechanic who resets the odometer before trading for a new car, by a person who buys a gadget to keep miles from registering on the odometer, by a dealer who contracts with a "reconditioning" firm, or by a multi-state used car mill, odometer tampering violates state and federal laws, and is punishable by fines, imprisonment or both.


Do you have to have a car dealer's license to sell used cars in state of Texas?

Yes, in Texas, you must have a dealer's license to sell used cars as part of a business. Selling more than five vehicles in a 12-month period without a license can lead to legal penalties. However, individuals can sell their personal vehicles without a dealer's license, provided they are not engaging in a business of selling cars.

1996 ford ranger Odometer and Trip gauge don't work but Speedometer works. How can I fix this Thanks?

Speedometer is ran by electronic sensor on rear end. Odometer is ran from speedometer. If both don't work problem is sensor. If speedometer works sensor is okay.
