  It’s supposed to be in the US also.

  Not in Germany. Here in France we know to never buy a used German car : the odometer would certainly have been tinkered with.

    This is misleading, it is illegal in Germany, if it is about changing the odometer to a wrong record, and only legal to correct it, if it was broken or is replaced.

      Yes you’re right. However it seems that around 30% of the used cars sold from Germany are concerned. A law that is not enforced is a fake law.

        What do you mean with “not enforced”? Do you mean that people that find manipulated odometers with proof go to court and then nothing is done?

        Is the odometer not recorded when having yearly inspections? Or do people cheat it before those as well?

    How the hell is this not illegal in Germany?! They love to over regulate everything

      It is illegal in Germeny, if the purpose is to falsify it, and legal to correct a wrong record: www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stvg/__22b.html

        The trick is to correct it to a wrong record!

  I would hope so. I would not be surprised that this is a US special…
