3. Odometer disclosure

Federal law (49 U.S.C. 32705) requires mileage disclosure at transfer for vehicles fewer than 20 model years old. I, the Seller, certify the odometer readsmiles (no tenths), and that to the best of my knowledge this reading is (check one):

Actual mileageExceeds mechanical limitsNOT the actual mileage (warning: odometer discrepancy)

The seller must provide an accurate odometer reading at the time of sale (with an estimate if the reading is inaccurate), recorded on the bill of sale and title assignment; the federal under-20-model-years rule applies.
