if someone check carfax or history they can see discrepencies in the mileage.
yea, the miles stay on the cluster and i dont think there's anyway to change it (i should know, i busted mine)
How would Carfax know how many miles I've driven in the last five years?
As far as any buyer is concerned, I bought my car, brought it home and parked it in my garage. There is sat. Five years later, I want to sell it with the odometer only reading 45 miles. Prove me wrong.
when you turn in pink slip you put the miles on it right? that's how dmv knows
I hate to beat a dead horse, but...
Turn in my pink slip? I think you mean that I'd hand my pink slip over to the buyer. Right? Ok. I'll write down what the odometer reads (the new cluster). Again, I ask, how would anybody know the actual milage?
I mean, the DMV has no idea how many miles are on my car now. I bought it new five years ago. I'm the only one that knows the actual milage. How could I possibly get caught.
I'm not saying I would, but someone else could. easily.
I just had another thought. Lets say you have a newer car and you get an older used cluster. You'll have some big time explaining why the odometer reads so much higher and your asking a higher price due to lesser milage.
I guess the root of this whole thread is what a new cluster odometer would read. I would think that ecu would automatically update it.
