Odometer Roll Back
Both New Jersey and Federal Law prohibit the selling of a vehicle when you know or have reason to know that the mileage is incorrect. This violates both Federal and New Jersey state Law.
The Federal Odometer Law provides for minimum damages of $1,500 and up to three times actual damages plus fees and costs when intent can be shown. Under New Jersey Law this would be deemed a violation of the Consumer Fraud Act with mandatory triple damages attorney fees and costs.
This type of claim has significantly decreased over the years due to Carfax and Autocheck. These services make it more difficult to get away with clocking an odometer. You should still be careful and have any car inspected that you purchase.
