2C:21-8. Misrepresentation of mileage of motor vehicle
A person commits a disorderly persons offense when he sells,
exchanges, offers for sale or exchange or exposes for sale or exchange a
used motor vehicle on which he has changed or disconnected the mileage
registering instrument on the vehicle to show a lesser mileage reading
than that actually recorded on the vehicle or on the instrument with
purpose to misrepresent the mileage of the vehicle. This provision shall
not prevent the servicing, repair or replacement of a mileage
registering instrument which by reason of normal wear or through damage
requires service, repair or replacement if the instrument is then set at
zero or at the actual previously recorded mileage.
In addition to the penalty authorized for violation of this section, the
Director of the Division of Motor Vehicles may, after notice and
hearing, revoke the license of any motor vehicle dealer as defined in
R.S. 39:1-1 so convicted.
