When selling to another dealer, what must the selling dealer do if he/she cannot determine the distance the vehicle has been driven?

  1. Provide a statement that "the total distance the vehicle has been driven is unknown and may be substantially higher than the reading shown on the odometer."

  2. Provide a statement of the distance and date, together with a statement that "the total distance the vehicle has been driven is believed to be higher."

  3. Provide both the actual distance and estimated higher distance the vehicle may have traveled.

  4. Report that distance cannot be determined, and no further action is required.

The correct answer is: Provide a statement that "the total distance the vehicle has been driven is unknown and may be substantially higher than the reading shown on the odometer."

The correct answer emphasizes the obligation of the selling dealer to be transparent about the vehicle's odometer reading when the actual distance driven is unknown. By stating that "the total distance the vehicle has been driven is unknown and may be substantially higher than the reading shown on the odometer," the dealer ensures that the potential buyer is fully informed of the uncertainty regarding the vehicle's usage. This approach aligns with ethical standards in the automotive industry, promoting honesty and protecting both parties involved in the transaction. This response is crucial because it helps prevent any misleading information that may arise from an unclear odometer reading. In situations where a dealer is uncertain about the mileage, it is essential to provide a clear statement to avoid any misrepresentation, which can lead to legal repercussions and damage to the dealer's reputation. The other options present varying degrees of detail and implication but do not correctly address the requirement for transparency when the odometer's reading is uncertain. They may suggest vague beliefs about the mileage or provide estimates that lack the clarity required when the actual distance driven is undetermined.
