Unfortntely all you guys are taking this way to far. I dont plan on selling the car ever. Its not even an option, and thats a fact. So lowering the miles, doesnt Screw anyone over. So basically its my own business if I lower my miles.

You could do it like ferris bueller and put it on ramps and run it in reverse.

Re: Adjust Miles?
I've changed my odometer on my thirdgen everytime I put a new engine in it, whats wrong with that? I still keep track of my chassis miles but I don't care, call me a crook all you want. The electronic ones the fourthgens have, I have no idea how to change. I believe there is a company in texas who will do it but it has some strict guidelines. Good luck to you and ignore the sarcastic posts.

Re: Adjust Miles?
sounds to me like hes just making his whole story up just so someone will give in and actually tell him how to do it. I cant believe anyone on this site actually believes the guy when he says he wants to lower the miles from 55 to 50.... cmon guys, were all smarter than that. And I understand when people do it when they put new motors in or rebuild them, but this guy just sounds like he wants to sell his car for more money. JMHO.

Its his car, he can do whatever he wants. If he wants to turn it back to zero, who cares?
I would just get another gauge cluster with less miles on it. Some people say you can rig up a drill to spin the odo, but they only spin about 35mph...

BTW, if you ARE telling the truth, you wouldn't mind posting the VIN# here would you? I mean, what would you care if you were never going to sell it, right?

Re: Adjust Miles?
The only justified reason I can think of for lowering your odometer is if you changed gears and never recallibrated your speedo like mine is. It's had 3.73 gears in it for probably a couple years now and is showing about 9% more miles on it than it actually has. Now, I haven't rolled mine back, but I'd argue that it would be a just and reasonable cause to.

No duh it's illegal. I don't think you have to tell anyone here that. So if it's illegal, do you really think he is going to take that much of a risk for ONLY 5000 miles? No, no one take that risk for that small of an amount. I hope one day you become a victim of odomiter fraud. Let us know how you feel when it happens. I'm sure your just going to say, "Well, the guy before me owned it and it was his so it's ok that he turned back the miles. I don't mind that I was scammed. Oh well for me."
