What is odometer fraud and how can you determine if your odometer has been tampered with?
Odometer fraud occurs when illegal changes are made to the mileage shown on a used vehicle's title and odometer. This is usually done to mask high mileage on late-model used cars. Visually inspect the car to see if its condition matches the miles shown on the odometer. Check to see which parts have been replaced. Unscrupulous individuals sometimes use paint to make old parts look newer. Check the inspection certificate. It will have the date of inspection, mileage at the time of inspection, place of inspection and the inspector's name recorded on it. Look for lube or maintenance stickers on the left doorframe, in the glove compartment, under the hood, in the trunk, etc. These often contain mileage information. Check with the manufacturer to see what work was done under the warranty and what the mileage was at the time the work was done. Check to see if the numbers on the odometer gauge are aligned straight across. If they are crooked, the odometer may have been tampered with. If the car has a General Motors mechanical odometer, the spaces between the numbers should be black. If they are silver or white, the odometer has been tampered with. If the car has an electronic odometer, it has been designed to show an asterisk or some other sign if it has been tampered with. Information regarding this will be contained in the owner's manual. Research the vehicle's title history through the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles, or through a commercial title checking company. Be suspicious if the vehicle was sold several times in a few months. Be skeptical of former fleet vehicles with low mileage. These vehicles are driven an average of 32,000 miles per year and are almost never taken out of service early.
Can the odometer on a 2002 ford f150 be changed?
It's illegal to change odometer in most (if not all) states.ODOMETER TAMPERING One important indicator of a vehicle's value and reliability is the mileage. Consumers rely on an accurate odometer reading to provide an exact count of the vehicle's mileage. Precisely because mileage is so important in determining a car's value, those selling vehicles may be tempted to turn back a vehicle's odometer.To protect consumers, the federal government passed a law called the Federal Odometer Act. Anyone purchasing a vehicle in the United State is protected by this Act. Under the Act, it is unlawful to tamper with an odometer in order to change the mileage registered. Tampering can take a number of different forms, all of them illegal. For example, it is a violation of the Act to drive a vehicle with a disconnected odometer (which therefore would not register the miles), or to install or sell a device that make the odometer record mileage inaccurately. It is also a violation to manually reduce the number of miles on the odometer.If you discover a violation of the Act within two years of your purchase, you can bring a suit against the individual or dealership that sold you the vehicle. The law requires you to prove the seller's intent to deceive. That means you must show that the odometer was changed in order to make it seem like the vehicle had less mileage on it, as opposed to being altered by accident. In most cases of odometer tampering, this may be difficult to prove. The harder part is discovering that your odometer has been tampered with in the first place.If you are successful in your suit against the seller, you are entitled to the greater of either $1,500 or three times the amount of actual damages. Actual damages would be the difference between the price you paid for the vehicle and what is was really worth at its true mileage. The seller can also be ordered to pay your attorney's fees and costs if you win.In addition, to violations of federal law, odometer tampering can also be the subject of legal action under state statutes and administrative codes and under Wisconsin fraud and misrepresentation statutes.
