Glad to be here. I just wondered if anyone has used odometer correction tool before? I want to buy a new car, so I wanted to sell the prior one. Odometer shows 500,000km. A friend told me that a could adjust the odometer. But I am just a little afraid.
Who has used it before?
Is this illegal in USA?

Thanks and best regards!

Yes its a federal crime to alter the odometer reading in the usa.I dont know if it is where you are but would suspect it probably is. ALso its a pretty messed up thing to do to roll the odometer back on a car then sell it to some poor sucker. Alot of cars you just cant alter the miles on the newer cars.

Your friend gave you incorrect advice, the mileage cannot be over written on these cars.
