	Odometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Odometers appear as a row of wheels with the edge of the wheels towards the person viewing it.
		An odometer for measuring distance is described by Vitruvius around 27 and 23 BC.
		The odometer of Vitruvius was based on chariot wheels of 4 feet (1.2 m) diameter turning 400 times in one Roman mile (about 1400 m).

	Utah DMV – Buying & Selling Vehicles
		Odometer fraud occurs when illegal changes are made to the mileage shown on a used vehicle's title and odometer.
		The odometer was repaired or replaced, and because it was incapable of registering the same mileage as before, it was reset to zero.
		Odometer mileage disclosure statements do not need to be given for vehicles having a gross vehicle weight rating of 16,000 pounds or more, vehicles 10 years old or older, or vehicles sold directly by the manufacturer to any agency of the United States Government (41-1a-902).

	Preliminary Report: The Incidence Rate of Odometer Fraud
		Odometer fraud is the illegal practice of rolling back odometers to make it appear that vehicles have lower mileage than they actually do.
		The rate of odometer fraud over the life of the vehicle is 3.47 percent (confidence bounds from 2.68 to 4.26 percent).
		Although odometer fraud is not a top criminal priority in most states, states have some detection programs in place to identify cases of suspected odometer fraud and law enforcement agencies to investigate such cases.

		At the lower portion of the display, a bar graph shows the instantaneous fuel economy, which changes in real time based on the amount of fuel that the fuel injectors are currently delivering, and based on the current speed.
		When the speedometer is set to mph, odometer / trip meter distances are displayed in miles, and fuel efficiency is displayed in miles per gallon.
		When the speedometer is set to km/h, odometer / trip meter distances are displayed in kilometers, and fuel efficiency is displayed in liters per 100km.

		Alternatively, the odometer tamperers frequently destroy original title documents indicating high-mileage, and obtain duplicate certificates of title from state motor vehicle departments, upon which the false, lower mileage figures are entered.
		The odometer tamperer possesses an altered, forged, or replacement title document (which is a security under federal law) containing a false low-mileage reading.
		Odometer fraud/motor vehicle titling fraud investigations generally require coordination--both on a multi-jurisdiction level and on a federal-state level.

	Odometer
		Victims of odometer fraud, whether they be consumers or automobile dealers, have the right to sue under both state and federal law.
		If the mileage reading on the repaired or replaced gauge cannot be adjusted to reflect the true mileage, the odometer must be set to zero and a sticker indicating the true mileage before service must be attached to the left door frame of the motor vehicle.
		Look for the physical signs of tampering, such as scratches or marks on the odometer, badly misaligned digits on the odometer, missing or loose screws, etc. Look for oil change or inspection stickers under the hood or in the door, and for warranty documents or service records in the glove box.

	Odometer Fraud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Odometer fraud occurs when someone gives a false statement in disclosing the mileage of a vehicle.
		Unscrupulous operators can commit fraud by changing the odometer reading, cleaning the vehicle to make it appear to an untrained eye that the vehicle has been driven fewer miles, and sometimes washing the title (having a new, lower mileage title issued in a state which allows this to occur).
		Used cars with five digit odometers which have rolled over can have mileage untruthfully disclosed at the number of miles appearing on the odometer (e.g., 50,000 miles) when the vehicle has in fact been driven one hundred thousand or more miles further (e.g., 150,000 miles).

	Odometer rollback fraud tips at CARFAX used car buying guide
		Clocking an odometer is an industry term meaning a vehicle's odometer or documentation (or both) have been altered and the difference not disclosed to the buyer.
		Digital odometers, thought to be the answer to odometer tampering and fraud, are as easy, if not easier, to alter as their mechanical predecessors.
		Unfortunately, digital odometers that have been tampered with are even harder to detect than traditional mechanical odometers (since they have no visible moving parts).

	Odometer Versus Self-Reported Estimates or VMT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		At the end of the year a postcard was mailed to each respondent to record final odometer readings for all vehicles disposed during the second half of the year or still in the possession of the household at the end of the year.
		Therefore, all VMT obtained from odometer spans were adjusted to correspond to the period of time that the vehicle was in possession by the sample household.
		In 1994, no odometer span was available for 35 percent of the sampled vehicles, although an estimate of annual VMT had been obtained from the respondent during the RECS interview.

	State of Maine Attorney General - Augusta, Maine
		Almost all odometer fraud involves a device called "laundering" whereby a title issued in another state is transferred through several car dealers in several states before being sold in a different state than originally titled.
		Odometer Act cases have inferred intent to defraud where the dealer recklessly or carelessly disregarded indications of a mileage representation's falseness, or reasonably should have known that the mileage was inaccurate.
		When the odometer reading differs from the number of miles a vehicle has been driven, knowingly offers for sale that motor vehicle without disclosing that the actual mileage is unknown or is known to be different than the odometer reading.

	Washoe Legal Services - Odometer Fraud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Used cars with five-digit odometers which have rolled over can have mileage untruthfully disclosed as the number of miles appearing on the odometer (for example, 50,000) when the vehicle has in fact been driven 100,000 or more miles further (for example, 150,000 miles).
		If the transferor knows that the odometer reading is different from the number of miles the vehicle has actually traveled, the disclosure must state that the odometer is not the actual mileage.
		For example, the transferor may know that the odometer has been (a) rolled back, (b) driven with the odometer disconnected or not operating or (c) that the odometer reflects mileage in excess of its mechanical limits (rollover).

	Howstuffworks "How Odometers Work"
		A mechanical odometer is nothing more than a gear train with an incredible gear ratio.
		That means the input shaft of this odometer has to spin 1,690 times before the odometer will register 1 mile.
		Odometers like this are being replaced by digital odometers that provide more features and cost less, but they aren't nearly as cool.

		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 makes the odometer record mileage inaccurately.
		That means you must show that the odometer was changed in order to make it seem like the car had less mileage on it, as opposed to it having been altered by accident.
		In most cases of odometer tampering, this may not be difficult to prove.

	Volvo 240 Odometer Repair
		If your odometer isn't working on your 1986-1993 Volvo 240's (sedan and wagon) electronic speedometer, chances are there is a broken gear in your speedometer head.
		Resetting the odometer when your vehicle is in motion is also another possibility.
		When the small tooth gear goes around in a circle, it causes the nylon gear's teeth to turn the trip odometer, and when it hits a certain notch in the odometer's digit, it will cause the main odometer to turn.

	TCC Tip: Odometer Fraud - The Car Connection
		Odometer fraud can cost you thousands of dollars in the long run, by causing you to pay more than the car is worth in the first place and for added mechanical repairs that wouldn't otherwise be needed.
		Clocking can typically add four to five thousand dollars to the price of a late-model vehicle, and experts estimate the overall economic impact of odometer fraud to be as high as $10 billion per year.
		If the car has a digital odometer, look for one or more digits that isn't a number, but rather an asterisk or an 'E,' signifying that the mileage is wrong.
