how to stop odometer?

[adamam]

I buy brand new cars only.

phad, there is a way to scan the ECM for last recorded mileage before the input was interrupted, that gives a benchmarker.

ADDITIONALLY, a car, using your query of 30K - miles, would show in wear/tear. Body, brakes, interior, tires are some indicators [though they not the true red-flag]

You don't know, thats why its illegal & you have to look at more then just the odometer when going to buy a car. Check out the tire condition, a car with 35,000 should still have 1/2 of the tread left on the orig tires, before you go to look at it find out what tires came on it. Check out the pedals, 50,000 miles doesn't wear the brake pedal to the metal. Check out the seat, holes, seat covers, you know what sitting in a new car feels like, does it feel like new or a broken down old couch, most people only sit in their car to drive.

By the way, if you've done this all 14 cars you've owned I hope you sell your next one to Highway patrol man!

The vehicle is supposed to be tagged near the information plate found on either the driver's side front door or the door pillar, and its supposed to be tagged by the dealership.

Guys, I dont believe this thread has gone on this long. adamam, all I can say is that if you get caught you could be looking at some serious jail time. Now-a-days people don't take kindly to being ripped off. You could also be looking to meet up with a pissed off buyer which could be worse than doing time. I know that it used to be common practice to disconnect the speedo, but not any more. Like it has been stated " The Computer Knows". There is a case going on in our local area, a small used car lot got busted for selling a car with a spanked speedo, he's only getting fined because he was able to prove that he didn't do it but the guy that did the turn back is getting 7 years. Is it worth that much time just to cheat a few miles on a car. Be sensible buy a beater and run it to the ground and save the GA for going out.

Besides this really isn't a place to be asking for that kind of help. Unless your bio info is B.S. you never know who is browsing the forum. That also goes for anyone that offers instruction on how to disconnect.

Just giving my two cents worth, take it or leave it but I hope you decide to take all of the good advice offered thus far.

what do you think carfax does when you purchase your car it stats your name and your car your mileage everything and each time you insure your car so you buy the car at 100k miles then sell the car at 120k miles in 4 years... you will be investigated... but be forwarned also there is an odometer in the computer of the car.. changing the dash or anything of that sort... is monitored.. all any normal mechanic has to do is read your computer... and ding your busted... this started in all GMvehicles in the late 90's just think in 03 they added a black box to all GM's so when you crash they can read exactly what you were doing for the last 5 seconds before the crash...

And you dont think those people at GM havent thought about people like yourselves... i would warn ya now or a real nasty fine is comming your way

Absofrigginlutely amazing!!!

Come on a public forum and ask how to commit a felony. The type of felony that eventually effects people who use this forum on a daily basis. The type of felony that causes folks who use this forum to get screwed by lamers like you.

Maybe you should find a forum and ask: "How do I steal my neighbors newspaper without getting caught?". or "How do I steal someone's identity without getting caught"? or even better: "How can I cheat on my taxes without getting caught?".

Yeah, I figured as much. I know your type. I'm watching you on Cops right now.

Pathetic.

[Martina]

This thread is entertaining and pathetic at the same time.

Adam stated he's done this with all of his previous 14 vehicles. I don't know why he would need to ask how for the 15th vehicle. By now he should be considered a professional felon.

Um ok. You are comparing traffic violation and a fine (hell misdemeanor at the most) to a felony. God you have to be one of the dumbest people that have ever encountered on this forum. Not to mention that when you go to sell that to someone you are committing fraud. I hope that it comes back one day to bite you in the ass hard. And when i does just remember. Don't drop the soap big homie!!!!!!

... "Mercy, the buyer searched the car"

"I didn't think anyone would find out"

Sound of metal bracelets from nice officer

"But, I've done this 14 times"

Court action for fraudelent misrepresentation.

With apologies to the Moderators, but this person deserved it.
