When a vehicle is sold or a title is transferred, the law requires written documentation of the total mileage as recorded on the odometer. If the odometer mileage is known to be incorrect for any reason, the seller is required to provide a written statement of this knowledge on the title to the buyer.
Often, odometer fraud is done in conjunction with other crimes in order to make a used vehicle appear to be newer or have less wear than it actually does. If you think you've been the victim of odometer fraud, you must contact your local law enforcement agency. For large scale investigations, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation can provide assistance. You may help an investigation by reporting a suspicious VIN to the NHTSA Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation at (202) 366-4761. The NHTSA Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation may help you with general inquiries about odometers and may be able to help you to determine if other legal or law enforcement authorities need to be contacted. Contacting your state motor vehicle department can also help you as each state law, on handling odometer fraud, will vary.

Jay Berlinsky is the founder and owner of SC Advisors. Since the late 1980s, he has been a quiet force behind many of Orlando's most prominent development projects. A fifth-generation Central Floridian with over thirty years of real estate development experience, Jay brings a wealth of knowledge, as well as a unique understanding of the Central Florida market, its history and its people. Many of the region's key stakeholders have chosen Jay to guide them through the development of their projects.
His advisory, oversight, and owner's representation roles cover projects and transactions valued in excess of $2 billion and comprise more than three million square feet of office, retail, and public venues. These include four corporate headquarters, the highly acclaimed Amway Center, and the Citrus Bowl Stadium. He has also successfully navigated the complex regional planning process on behalf of two new master planned communities. He and his team have secured entitlements for 3,000 acres of mixed-use community development including over 5,000 dwelling units and three million square feet of commercial, retail, office and hospitality uses. He credits his role in the early governance of Disney's Town of Celebration as important in the understanding and shaping of great communities. Coordinating highly complex, large scale, public/private projects is another specialty of Jay and his team. Our community's elected leaders have repeatedly turned to Jay for oversight of landmark public projects. His public service appointment to the Orange County Oversight Committee for the $580 million Phase V expansion of the Orange County Convention Center gave him valuable insight into the management of large scale projects. This experience led to later opportunities to work with community leaders on the $1.6 billion Community Venues Plan, to serve as Developer’s Representative for Amway Center, and his current role as Owner’s Advisor for the City of Orlando on the re-construction of the Florida Citrus Bowl. |
