Selling a high mileage camper in Georgia
When selling a high mileage camper through a private party sale in Georgia, a bill of sale protects both the buyer and seller by documenting the transaction details and the vehicle's condition at the time of sale.
Legal considerations for high mileage vehicles in Georgia
Georgia requires accurate odometer disclosure on the title assignment form for vehicles under 20 model years old. When an odometer has exceeded its mechanical limits, the seller must note 'Exceeds Mechanical Limits' rather than a specific mileage figure. If the odometer reading is in question, Form T-107 (Odometer Discrepancy Affidavit) should be completed. Sellers should retain a copy of the title assignment and bill of sale to document the declared mileage and protect against post-sale odometer fraud claims. Note: the specific rollover thresholds (99,999 / 999,999 miles) cited in the original draft were not confirmed verbatim on the DOR odometer disclosure page and have been stated generally here.
Required disclosures
Georgia DOR requires sellers to accurately disclose the vehicle's odometer reading at the time of sale on a secure transfer document. If the odometer has exceeded mechanical limits, the seller must note this on the transfer document. Vehicles 20 model years old or older may enter 'exempt.' Under the Federal Truth in Mileage Act (49 U.S.C. § 32701), odometer tampering or knowing misrepresentation is a federal felony with penalties of up to three years imprisonment and $10,000 fine per violation. Under Georgia law, 'clocking' an odometer is a misdemeanor.
