I doubt anyone will sell you a car with fraudulent mileage if they are selling it parked in front of their house.

I disagree, it`s only dangerous if you can prove rollback. If I bought the car new, drove 100000miles and then installed new cluster, then what? how you can prove it if I services it myself or in independent shop? rolling back odometers is HUge businessand billions of dollars lost because of odo rollback.
if you can prove it then seller will have to buy it back for full price but only if you can prove it. colorado emission testing places no longer reporting mileage of the test, one less trusted source to collect odo info. i bet you can tell if vehicle have 100000 on odo vs 10000 but that wouldn`t be enought to accuse someone in odo fraud. if would be enough for you not to buy it in first place though. I bought Vw bug with 4000 on odo only to doscover later that it was at least 20000 more according to emission testing record. I bought it from a dealer so I returned it and got100% refund including registration fees. I`d rather buy from dealer then private seller. dealer board is very powerful organization, dealer can get his/her license revoked for things like that, bonded and insured dealer is way safer then private party. nothing you can do to private guy but sue. time and money consuming process and then good luck getting judgement money from that guy.
