Legal considerations for high mileage vehicles in Florida

The seller must record the exact odometer reading at the time of sale, disclose whether the odometer is accurate or has been replaced, and note any major mechanical systems that are worn or non-functional.

Buyer warning

High-mileage vehicles may have significant wear on engine, transmission, and suspension components. Request maintenance records and consider a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic.
