‘Roll back’ trick affecting 2.1m cars exposed as buyers forced to pay $1000s extra – crucial check avoids wasting money

December 16, 2024

TENS of thousands of used cars sold in a major city this year have had their odometers rolled back, according to reports.

Vehicles sold in Atlanta, Georgia, are showing inaccurate mileage, according to estimates from Carfax.

As a result, thousands of car owners across the city might’ve paid $1,000s extra for illegally clocked cars.

Josh Ingle, owner of a local automotive shop called Atlanta Speedometer, warned car owners that changing a vehicles mileage is an easy trick that many used car dealerships can do.

He said: “If you can roll the odometer back, you gain substantial value no matter what vehicle we’re talking about.”

He added: “It takes less than a minute to do the whole process. The value on this car would have increased by $3,000 or $4,000.”

Ingle demonstrated that crooks can simply pick up a $200 device online, and with a push of a button can roll back the mileage of a second-hand car.

Worse still, while some newer models of cars have better protections against digital rollbacks, con-artists are still able to get around those with a device called a ‘can blocker’ that can be installed behind the dash.

According to Carfax, more than 2.1 million odometers were rolled back in 2024, with roughly 53,500 of those in Atlanta.

Ingle said: “Even an unsuspecting dealership can purchase these vehicles to put them on the lot, not even intending to have any bad purpose.”

Experts at Carfax have suggested to car owners that they should make sure they compare their vehicle’s mileage to its history file.

Em Nguyen, of Carfax, said: “Let’s say you have a car in mind, it’s got 50,000 miles on it.

“You take a look at the vehicle history report, and it says, ‘The last time it was at the maintenance shop, there was 150,000 miles.’ Obviously, that is a big red flag.”

This comes as drivers in a major city risk an uptrend in speeding tickets – after the speed limit drops to 25 mph.

Motorists in Chicago could even face paying up to $244 in penalties.

According to the Illinois Policy, Mayor Brandon Johnson supports reducing the speed limit from 30 to 25 mph and adding more speed cameras to help cover a nearly $1 billion budget deficit.

The move is expected to lead to a significant increase in tickets being issued, as well as revenue.

And a new law is set to clamp down on dangerous behavior on the roads, but critics call it too dangerous and expensive to bring in.

Supporters of “Priscilla’s Law” say it would make streets safer and e-bike riders more accountable.

The law is named after Priscilla Loke, who was run down and killed by an e-bike as she walked to work in New York‘s Chinatown in September last year.

E-bikes and e-scooters led to nearly 250,000 emergency room visits and 215 deaths nationwide between 2017 and 2022, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Currently, e-bikes are not regulated by New York’s DMV.

But under “Intro 606,” they would be required to be licensed and registered.
