Odometer Rollback In The States

[PranK]

Interesting read on Autoblog.

It seems that there are some nice, chunky punishments if a dealer or auctioneer is caught rolling back the clocks. But, seems to be a lot harder to prove that they did it. So, low risk, high reward for the scumbags.

• Federal law permits consumers to obtain treble (triple) damages in court or $1,500, whichever is greater.
• The Secretary of Transportation's office can pursue a criminal warrant for odometer fraud and a fine of up to $100,000 on your behalf.
• The Attorney General's office in your state can pursue any and all civil and criminal penalties that have already been mentioned.

What kind of penalties does a dealer face in Aust?

(Please, don't bring dodgy Australian businesses into this, this is a factual discussion about penalties. Thanks.)

Ooooh, no idea.

This story appears to be regarding local domestic sales anyway.

JOC and JHC can be utilised by folks in the USA.

If ever there's one country in which you don't want to try dodgy business dealings, it's the US. I expect sooner or later there will be legal cases popping up that will require penalties set not only to the maximum levels above, but also payment of millions of dollars for "emotional distress" and so on.
