This is only partly true. It's perfectly legal to mark Exempt on any vehicle 10 years or older. https://www.theconsumerlawgroup.com/blog/older-cars-are-exempt-from-odometer -disclosure-laws.cfm Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com - Electric Brewery Info www.towercooler.com - Beer Tower Cooler http://goo.gl/niRzVw - My Amazon Store www.brew-control.com - Electric Brewery Marketing and Direct Sales http://www.hackpilot.com/roadkill/ - A little twisted humor -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM] On Behalf Of Bill Glenn Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2020 2:03 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Heads-Up - Potential Odometer Fraud Some of the comments suggest that odometer readings are not important, and that one should rely more on the condition of the vehicle. While condition matters, the odometer reading must be accurately represented, both on the vehicle odometer and on the title when transferring the vehicle, or include a statement that the true mileage is unknown due to a stated reason. Altering the mileage reading on a motor vehicle is a felony under federal law and most state laws. Altering the mileage reading on the title, which is a security instrument under law, is securities fraud. If a fraudulent title has passed through the mail, it's mail fraud. Odometer fraud has been characterized as perhaps the largest consumer fraud in America, so it follows that odometer readings are, in fact, important. ----- No virus found in this message.
