AFAIK the odometer reading is only relevant if it's less than 100,000 miles. After that the odometer reading doesn't have to be included on the bill of sale and actual milage doesn't need to be disclosed accurately, by law. Maybe that's not the case in other states but I'm relatively sure it is in Missouri and the law is probably similar in a lot of other states if not identical. So at least in some places, this might be technically legal even if completely unethical.

BTW this is probably an outdated law from the time when vehicles odometers "rolled over" to zero after 99,999 miles.

In some states there's a cut off after so many years. In Washington, it's a very low threshold, like a few years. I've owned something like 25+ cars and I have never filled out the odometer disclosure, since I've never owned a new-ish car.

It’s a federal law.

The only exemption is for vehicles older than 10 years. In that case you don’t need to make a declaration, but you still can.

10 years according to federal law.
