Reverse Mileage on E430 - Son needs help

Hi guys! Newbie here, my son owns a 2000 E430 Mercedes-Benz. Mileage is over 160,000. Alot of chicks are giving him crap for too much mileage. I know you guys will tell me to buy him a new car. That's a no go So how can I reduce the mileage to 90,000. Can someone help?

Thanks guys!

The first thing chicks do these days is check out what mileage is on their dates ride?! He needs to make them understand they're making out in a German Tank and 160k is nothing!!! Geez... Anyways there are companies specialized in resetting or lowering the mileage on any car. Or you get another instrument cluster at a scrap yard. I personally prefer having my car original and the mileage doesn't matter as long as the car has been well-maintained.

He needs to find other GF's. Why the frig do they care if he has 160K miles on the odometer...unless they are gold diggers. I thought rolling back mileage on a car was illegal anyway?

Someone smarter than me correct me if I am wrong.

this is the dumbest thing ever.

Tell your son to get some new female companions, and two, don't do something stupid, illegal, and despicable, like rolling back an odo.

Why don't you teach him how to be a player instead of turning his mileage back?
Seriously, kick her *** to the curb if what she's worried about is the odometer.

When ever a chick goes to check the mileage on my car, which is usually on the second date, after a dinner and drinks. I just unzip my pants and unleash the monster on them. it works really well in distracting a girl who is so dazzled by my odometer. And I'll be like: you think my car has too many miles on it? guess what the mileage on this monster is, and it's about to go up one muhahahaha.....

And it's illegal to turn your mileage back, you can get into serious trouble for it unless it is mentioned on the title that you changed it for a legit reason.

What chick asks how many miles a car has?

The last chick I went out with thought my 74 450SE was a 1996! I just went along with it!

Lets get serious!

Just press the button so it shows the trip mileage instead of the odometer. It is your son's fault for picking up these kind of women anyway.

Hey if your Son is pulling chicks that are that shallow then they hoppfully they also swallow! More power to him! Tell him ebay and get a cluster with lower mileage. Now if these were Range Rover and not Mercedes the car would see that the mileage does not match what the computer thinks it should be and just correct it anyway. Also in my state TX once a car has over 100K the title does not list mileage anymore.

First of all this guy is a newbie and his first post is not "hi, I'm new and looking forward to posting." It's "how do I crack the ODO and set it back?" And there probably isn't a son...cuz he probably isn't a father, and the BS about a chick looking at the odometer? Gimmee a break!
This is some tool who will never post again hoping he will get someone to believe his scam and PM the info on how to do it. Prove to me that you are legit and give us the VIN. I will run a check and verify model and mileage. I will even run a DMV check too.

ML320, Looking for my S4
First of all that 100% illegal, but if your willing to enjoy your new room mate bubba, you can buy a used gauge cluster. Or get him to tell his "girl friends" that its Kilometers not miles

Angry Not sure where this moron lives but...

.....if you live in CA, here's the specific statute you're breaking:

CVC 28051. It is unlawful for any person to disconnect, turn back,
advance, or reset the odometer of any motor vehicle with the intent
to alter the number of miles indicated on the odometer gauge.

A**holes like you should take the bus.

If the car is clean and detailed inside and out as it should be. There should not be a issue. Tell him to get new friends and spend hours cleaning and waxing as we all did when we were his age.

I am confused here this person posted a question to the forum, which I answered covering his concerns and how he could accomplish his goal. Why are my ethics being questioned? I have not at any time misrepresented anything I have ever owned or sold in my life! He asked how and I answered. If one of you needed help with something that I could assist with I would offer each of you the same level of assistance.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
And if you

built bank vaults you would assist a person that asked under the guise that they had a son who's girlfriend "forgot something in a bank vault and needed to get in on the weekend"
Your ethics are really not questioned just the good sense of helping such an obvious ploy.
A member with a bad cluster would get pointed towards the link for cluster removal and the proper disclosure of the odometer change,if you can't see through his story,We have a bridge in Brooklyn that is looking for a new buyer.
