Alan, that is not necessarily true but in this instance it does not look good. We contract with an auction house to dispose of fleet vehicles. We have had to ban quite a few for not buying the vehicles that they win at auction. There are also other buyers who demand special private access to inspect the vehicles and they get upset when we say no, we ban them. Everyone has to have equal access and we disclose everything that we know about the unit to everyone on the website. In these instances the odometer reading was on the PCM. It could have been easily checked by FedEx. Some older units PCM's do not record that type of information and can be harder to disclose. But a cursory check of their maintenance records would go a long way..

@@catwhowalksbyhimself The third party is definitely to try and eliminate chain of custody and liability. However, I think where Fed-Ex will lose is that they do much of their own maintenance and therefore they are the ones who are not complying with federal law to make the odometer discrepancy disclosures. I want to side with Fed-Ex as it's the numbers of people involved and where the failure to disclose comes in, but as the video shows, there must be a disclosure "permanently affixed" to the driver door jamb. I know this because I am a certified Master auto technician and I replaced many instrument clusters/odometers with used units that had different odometer readings. Nowadays most of what I do is either have them rebuilt or replace with odometers programmed with the VIN and mileage. And if I return a cluster with a mileage that differs by more than roughly 100 miles, I do NOT get my $150-$400 core refund. So if I have to replace an odometer/instrument cluster, the vehicle sits at my shop until the new one comes in, the customer does NOT get to keep driving it in the 2-14 days it takes to get a cluster.

If the listing says “LOW MILES” and list another amount of mileage far lower than what they claim, that is done so with the intent of deception. Plain and simple. There is a reason why odometer swaps without disclosure is against the law. Because it is done with the sole intent to mislead and defraud the end buyer of the actual mileage and therefore stated condition of said vehicle. Just because an auction sells “as is”, doesn’t give them a free pass to violate the law and straight up lie and defraud people. I hope this guy wins and wins HUGE!

I can't say who I work for because I've got bills to pay, but I will say that their vehicles wouldn't pass a crash test when they were built. Now they're all over 30 years old and scary as hell. One of our maintenance guys replaced a faulty brake line on my vehicle, on the same side, three days in a row, before he finally got a good one. Yes the brakes went out 3 days in a row while I was driving. Yay Me. Recently, my vehicle wouldn't start so they replaced the distributor. About an hour into my route, the brand new distributer went out again. The horn usually doesn't work, unless you're turning, then it just honks on its own. There's a "fresh air" vent, that is worn out and won't close, in the firewall, coming straight from the engine compartment directly into the cab. It comes out right under the fan that is mounted on the dash, so it blows that hot air right on us. It's the only air vent in the cab. When it rains, the windows fog up and the defroster isn't powerful enough to clear the fog. The windshield wipers get caught in the bolts (yes BOLTS) that hold the windshield in place, so the wipers are always messed up when it rains. Most of the windshields leak and the water runs right down the inside firewall onto the fuse block. There is literally a puddle in the floor of my vehicle, when it rains The wiring has never been replaced on these vehicles so, sometimes they just catch on fire. The good news is, sometime between now and the next 10 years, we're supposed to be getting our new fleet of trucks that we were supposed to get 10 years ago. WOOHOO!!!

Thank you for the comment. Tom Layton, the Plaintiff here. Yes it is suspect. But, when the selling auction Manheim announced it as "43,000 ACTUAL MILES" and the title is signed off by Holman ARI and FedEx as 43,000 actual miles I believed them. Keep in mind I was buying it on an online auction 3, 000 miles away and could not personally inspect it. To this very day, 7 years later, Manheim, Holman, and FedEx still claim they are not responsible!!!

Ok, as a 25 year diesel technician, fleet and independent, I can tell you that speedometers fail quite frequently. I have changed dozens. Tech orders parts, parts come in, as new 0 mile reading and it gets installed. Some times it will be documented, sometimes not. You can access the ECM, but those fail too, and when they do, sometimes they can be downloaded, and reprogrammed to the new module, however, they can lose internal memory when they fail as well. My honest opinion, FedEx just wants their equipment fixed economically and doesn't care. The auction house is the one taking advantage of both sides of the situation. But seriously buyer beware, you can't honestly think a 90's delivery vehicle would have 80,000 miles on it really???

This sounds like 25% to 50% failure rate and that seems rather high. As for the buyer not questioning the low mileage, I wondered about that myself, especially if you knew it was a Fedex truck. Maybe if it was something like a food truck from new where is was driven to locations and spent most of its time parked in a location. You see low mileage vs age on lots of RVs because even if they are drive cross country, they also spend a lot of time parked.

Depends on what else is wrong with it. It really does not take a whole lot to make fixing a fleet vehicle worth less than a replacement. Between the base model price and usually some form of discount for a bulk order something as simple (yet generally expensive) as lifter collapse become more expensive than the cost to replace.... to the company. Lets say the truck is worth 10k but needs 5k in repairs (making it really worth 5k) you sell it for 4k, the other guy dumps the 5k into it and gets a truck for a little less than what it is worth. Meanwhile the company writes the 6k difference off on their taxes and goes ahead and buys a new one for 25k and then writes that off as an expense as well.

@DangerousDevilOfficial

No they shouldn’t. Not if the listing says “LOW MILES” and list another amount of mileage far lower than what they claim. There is a reason why odometer swaps without disclosure is against the law. Because it is done with the sole intent to mislead and defraud the end buyer of the actual mileage and therefore stated condition of said vehicle. Just because an auction sells “as is”, doesn’t give them a free pass to violate the law and straight up lie and defraud people. I hope this guy wins and wins HUGE! And that the companies involved also end up with massive fines in the end. Along with an order to “cease and desist” this criminal practice!

Changing odometers on stepvans seems to be a common industry practice. I bought several vans from Frito-lay, and just about all of them had their odometer changed. The big difference is they had the sticker stating this fact so you knew. It seems when they went in for a company refurbish, they swapped in a new odometer since it was a new engine and a "new" van to them. Again, at least they were honest enough to tell you this, so you knew what you were getting.

They were contracted by FedEx. FedEx is, in the end, responsible. When American Airlines was using smaller planes for short flights, they claimed that is was not their planes as they had "contracted" out the flights. The courts held that they were responsible anyway because the tickets were sold by American Airlines. The trucks are FedEx trucks, originally, and ARI is contracted (by FedEx) to sell them. In effect, FedEx IS selling them. They are just using an outside contractor to do it. Ultimately, I believe a court will rule against FedEx. The real criminals here are the auctions.
