Odometer Fraud -- the illegal practice of rolling back odometers to make it appear that vehicles have lower mileage than they actually do -- has become very rampant these days, a phenomenon largely influenced by the burgeoning consumer preference for quality used cars, especially Japanese ones, rather than purchasing brand new cars that cost twice as much.
You wouldn't believe how many used cars have their odometer altered. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has even reported that about 452,000 reported cases occur every year and the average odometer rollback takes 35,000 to 40,000 miles off of a vehicle -- boosting its price by more than $2,500. The NHTSA disclosed that since 2002 there has been a definite escalation of odometer fraud, triggered by new car prices and the increased demand for late-model, low-mileage used cars.
