How do I determine that I have been sold a vehicle with an incorrect odometer reading?

You can determine the possible odometer fraud at the Department of Motor Vehicles in California. They usually maintain records that contain a report of the mileage each time a vehicle is sold. If you research and review these records you will be able to spot any possible discrepancy in the mileage.

Another good way to detect odometer fraud is to check on-line companies such as carfax.com, consumerguide.com and autocheck.com. These sites will provide you with a vehicle history report.

Also try to contact and interview former owners of the vehicle, as well as have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic. The mechanical condition of the vehicle can also provide evidence of odometer tampering.

If you have been sold a vehicle with an incorrect odometer reading, you may be entitled to several remedies including a full refund of your money, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees and costs.
