And may you, and your "friend," end up buying a car in the future that has been rolled back.

Why do so many people think that to get ahead in life, they need to screw someone else over? Nice thinking!

Well said. Cheat on one thing to falsely gain something and you'll definitely end up losing on something else, that's the way the universe and karma works.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

That's great to know... What are we "Uncle Jed" on a used car lot getting extra bucks for rolling back a Caprice Classic to 65,000 miles? I am sorry and I don't mean to be rude- if you put the miles on the car deal with the depreciation- you dealt with the luxury of the car didn't you? What you are going to do is pawn off your loss to someone else. Sleep at nite?

I always find it interesting how people always completely freak out at the mention of this subject. You could post this message to alt.killing.babies and everyone there would freak out too. People would rather you go on a rampage and start running people over with your car rather than tamper with the mileage.

I must apologize- I thought you were asking whether you should do it or not. My mistake. If you are asking whether it is possible I must say the American youngsters were able to beat the Russians on ice and most didn't shave... Possible? I would think so. Again, I am sorry for not getting your drift and hope you aren't insulted by my comments! Ahmed, you are going to make me p--s myself in my office. Oh, and Ahmed, great new shot of your ride- I LOVE the rims and the color- so stout.

Sungul,

Didn't you know that tampering with the odometer is an offense punishable by the law? Is 5-10 years of your life worth the extra $500 you pay in returning your car over the mileage limit?

Think about it,

Yes, it is do-able. In certain accidents, the car's mileage can be thrown off +/-. It is only legal to have your mileage changed when it is to correct an inaccuracy such as this. Simply rolling back the mileage is illegal, and other traces on the car can hint to whether it has been done.

I don't know why but this just reminded me of a footbal coach I had. His name was Al Pisano. During our first practice, one of the newbie's asked him what they should call him. He replied, "Dehhhh, you can call me, 'coach', ehhhh, you can call me, 'Al', ehhh or , 'Mr. Pisano'. Heck you can call me anything but don't call me late for dinner."

The funny thing is, some of the older players started calling him "Late-for dinner". Know it doesn't apply, just thought it was funny.
