LEGAL POSITION IN GERMANY

"Whoever manipulates a tachometer is not guilty of faking up technical records." That was adjusted by the Federal Court of Justice in a leading decision (Az. 4 Str. 654/79) Reason: "The mileage as read from odometer (mileage indicator) in a vehicle is not a technical recording in terms of § 268 StR." Whoever changes the mileage to achieve a better price in selling is cheating the customer. The legislator imposes a penalty up to five years or a fine. Every defrauded customer is enable to give back the vehicle and reclaim the purchase price. Furthermore we refer to the point, that it is not allowed to make any adjustments with hired or leased vehicles because they are strange belongings and every intervension means a break of agreement.
