It is against federal law to alter the odometer reading on a vehicle.
This is why the odometer reading is captured when a vehicle is sold, and any discrepancy in numbers triggers an investigation. If it sells in July 2004 with 104,000, and sells again in September of 2006 with only 86,000, the title is going to wind up being held and the Highway Patrol will be paying an inspection visit.

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
THAT'S FRAUD!! There are laws against that, and have been every since the car had an odometer!!!
That's one of the original cheats on reselling cars, turning back the odometer, so that it looks like it hasn't been used as much as it really has been. If you know of someone doing it, or have evidence, call the cops.

It has been illegal for many years,but today with electronics what they are, only the manufacturer can set a repaired odometer, and a certification sticker comes with the renew'd unit. The sticker must be applied to the door post drivers door in plain sight.
Regulations are federal, not state.

No they are not allowed to it is illegal, for example, when we leased our new vehicle the Salesman took it out and tested it, we got it with 400Km on it, and on our lease we are allowed 400 over what normally it would be.
