QUOTE(amrex9492 @ Nov 11 2012, 11:58 AM) hi all, All you need is the service records of the car to verify the mileage. Any car sold without service records indicates that it has not been maintained properly, esp if it only had one owner. Not just the last record but the entire record of every service.i just has a simple question to ask...mileage meter can be reset or not? i ask this question bcos i plan to buy 2nd hand civic yr2008 with quite low mileage 15k-20k and the price is 78k. my concern , the seller can change the mileage meter to low mileage juz to attract customer. hope u all can help me....and this is my 1st car... |

Digital one is actually easier to reset to any number you want. You can call and pay some people to do it for you. |

It is very easy. Search for it on YouTube, any car can be tampered with, and it usually only takes a few minutes.
