Hypothetical Odometer Issue I Thought of Earlier

[Hijacker]

Ok. say you have a busted odometer. It's not turning and recording the mileage of the car anymore. You have an extra odometer sitting in an extra dash cluster that you can put in the car. Of course, it reads way off from the first odometer. Like 70,000 on the old one, and say 200,000 on the working one.

Now, given that odometer tampering is illegal, would you be willing to roll the working odometer back to the mileage on the broken one? For the sake of keeping the car recording its original mileage, I think I would.

I changed my interment cluster on my old b12 sentra and it was no big dead with the dmv. it was way off too. I just told them that I had to reolcae it cause the old one broke. but it realy didnt I just want one that had a tac in it.

i don't think that the DMV would have too much of a problem with that, but they might prefer you let a certified shop or something do it. But you have to be careful, they might want to uncertify your milage. If they do that it doesn't matter what you do. When I got my car the odometer had been intermittantantly working for a little bit, and the mileage had been uncertified (got from a dealer so they had to do it legal). But when I brough it home to my state I fixed it and didn't bother to list it on the new registration (maybe a couple hundred miles off, big deal).

cars with true mileage unkown aren't worth anything so i would get that fixed. my friend uses two sets of gauges to keep the milage off his car

why?just roll the damn thing back if you really wanted to. you just take the odo out and you can roll them with your hand.I have an s13 one that reads 000000, how about that?
