condition of title and by requiring lessees to disclose to their lessors 
the vehicle's mileage at the time the lessors transfer the vehicle. In 
addition, the purpose of this part is to preserve records that are 
needed for the proper investigation of possible violations of the Motor 
Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act and any subsequent 
prosecutorial, adjudicative or other action.
