Seller's Statements

Odometer Disclosure
Federal law (49 U.S.C. § 32705) and state law require the seller to state the mileage upon transfer of ownership. Failing to do so or giving a false statement may result in fines or imprisonment. Vehicles that are exempt by age need not state it.
The odometer now reads Odometer Reading miles and, to the best of Seller's knowledge, it reflects the actual mileage, unless one of the following is marked:
• ☐ The mileage is in excess of the odometer's mechanical limits.
• ☐ The reading is not the actual mileage. WARNING: ODOMETER DISCREPANCY.
Where the title has an odometer section, it must also be completed. This bill of sale does not replace it.
