Practice question

When and to whom should you show the prior owner's odometer statement?

  1. To all prospective customers before sale
  2. To the first customer who requests it
  3. After the purchase agreement is signed
  4. Only if the odometer reading is questionable

Answer: A — To all prospective customers before sale

The prior owner's odometer statement should be shown to all prospective customers before the sale to ensure transparency and provide accurate information about the vehicle. Showing it only to the first customer who requests it (B), or after the purchase agreement is signed (C), may seem suspicious and can raise doubts about the odometer reading. The statement should also be shown even if the reading is not questionable (D) to establish trust with customers and avoid any potential legal issues.
