Yeah drive in reverse when you have a chance, the odometer goes back and your speed becomes negative

Hey I have a lease....a disconnect for me would be great.....don't listen to these pompous douche bags who claim "don't buy the car if you can't afford it". I can afford plenty, and I'm smart enough to cut a corner, or otherwise turn the tables in my favor when I see an opportunity. Although I don't think I would try it with my car, because I do believe the mileage is stored in various places. Remember MB and every other dealer make plenty of money, its OK if they get yanked once in a while. I would love to know if there is a tested proven method. I know Hondas, Toyotas, Chevy's etc...are very easy....

Kind of like shop-lifting huh? We should all do it as shops already factor it into their pricing.

So...how are you "yanking" Mercedes? When you return that car they are going to turn around and sell the 80,000 mile car as a 40,000 mile car without knowing. The person who gets screwed is the person who buys the used car and then has it die after a year.
