U.S. odometer fraud is pervasive
Hey all,
Apparently, odometer fraud is frequent in the US...so beware when shopping for a used car! This is just another reason why i don't buy used car unless it is the last car in the world!
Washington, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that there are more than 450,000 cases of odometer fraud per year in the United States.
"Odometer fraud puts the safety and well-being of consumers at risk because it misleads them about wear and tear on the vehicle they are buying," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta.
