Odometer Rollback On Your Kissimmee Florida Auto

How do you know if an odometer is telling the truth?

Well, back in '86, Congress passed the Truth-in-Mileage Act to protect Florida consumers against mileage fraud. It says a Florida seller must certify the mileage reported is the Actual Mileage.

If it isn't, the seller must say why; like maybe the odometer is past its mechanical limits. Some older odometers only go to 99,999 miles and then start over at 0. Or, the odometer has been tampered with, broken or replaced.

If the seller tells you the mileage isn’t accurate, there’s not much chance of putting a good number to it; And there’s the unscrupulous seller who claims the reading is true, but it’s not so. What can you do?

First, you can go to www.CarFax.com, where for a small fee, they’ll give you a comprehensive vehicle history search on your Automobile, showing local Kissimmee Florida ownership history, accident reports, total-loss events, Manufacturer buybacks, Lemon reports and warranty status.

If so, proceed with caution. Or, negotiate a lower price. Or just walk away. There’s always another.
