Vehicles Exempt From the Odometer Disclosure Requirements of the Federal Truth in Mileage Act
The following vehicles are exempt from the odometer disclosure requirements of the Federal Truth in Mileage Act:
* A vehicle with a gross weight rating of more than 16,000 pounds;
* A vehicle not self-propelled (i.e. Trailer, etc).;
* Vehicles ten-model years (10) old or older (e.g. Current calendar year minus ten (10) equals the first year model exempt.) In the calendar year 2003, 1993 and older year model vehicles are exempt. In calendar year 2004, 1994 and older year model vehicles will be exempt.
* A vehicle sold directly by the manufacturer to any U.S. government agency in compliance with a contract's specifications and;
* A transferor (seller) of a new vehicle prior to its first transfer to a retail customer need not disclose the vehicle's odometer reading (i.e. Sale of a new vehicle from one dealer to another dealer before the vehicle is sold to the first retail customer).
When completing any document or form providing a space for an odometer reading, enter the word exempt when the vehicle is exempt from the odometer declaration requirements. If the vehicle is not exempt, then an odometer reading must be entered and the appropriate box checked when the odometer does not reflect the total distance the vehicle has traveled.
. I say it this way to save your speed cable unecessary mileage.
