@RandallNeighbour:

Hi,

I like your stuff - very moral in keeping the same mileage. Odometer tampering is widespread, even a Dealers do it.

It's often easy to spot or suspect though. A Car has many signs of the mileage it has accumulated besides the Odo Readout. Tire Wear, Dirt, Oil Leaks, Interior Wear, CarFax Service records are some of the ways you can spot it.

You should suspect every Odo reading and with experience, you only use it to confirm the mileage the rest of the Car is telling you. Don't rely on the Odo alone.

Afterall, it's really the rest of the Car which you're buying and will be driving, if it doesn't measure-up, regardless of what the Odo is telling you, pass on it. In our Mass Produced society, there's bound to be another example just around the corner...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
