milleage reading.. can be changed?

[fireblade]

[SIZE=6]By the way, one of their (used car dealers) most favourite line is ganyan na yan ng dinala dito. Wala akong alam diyan![/SIZE]

[jacorb_88]

kung ganyan ka detail ang log na yan, most likely service car 'yan. normally yung mga runners/drivers ni-lo-log ang mileage to monitor yung travel ng drivers. yung mga personal used cars namn, ang logging ay tuwing gas/diesel fill-up lang, hindi yung destinations.

halos lahat ng mga nag-ba-buy and sell, pagmataas na ang mileage ay ni-do-doctor nila to show low mileage. known secret na 'yan....trick of the trades...

Buti na lang nung bumili ako ng accord ko mabait sakin ang diyos. 57k lang mileage nung nabili ko, sabi ng 2nd owner expat first owner. The seller was a lawyer, they had 3 other cars. Tapos yung mga sticker ng accord for a country club in alabang tapos may sticker pa ng salcedo ba yun. After having the car for over a year nung may pina-ayos ako sa casa nalaman ko na taga dasmarinas makati yung may ari, sounds foreign yung name at ang baba talaga ng mileage.

Wala lang... Minsan meron mga madadaya talaga, pero minsan swerte ka rin pag nagkataon. Dapat lang talaga mga buyer detailed sa pag-inspection at nde magmadali sa pagbili ng kotse.

Dati bumibili ko ng side mirror sa suking surplasan sa banawe, may mamang lumapit dun sa may ari ng store na may dalang vios na i think e 2-3 years old, "X" start ng plate, tanong sya sa may ari "manong, kaya mo ba reset ng digital odo?" sagot ng may ari "kayang kaya..." ayun nagbayad yung mama, iniwan na nya car nya, babalikan na lang. di ko napanood how its done pero surely it CAN be done

Read this post.. Kakatakot nman bumili ng 2nd hand Cars.. Is ther anyway para malaman mo kung tamppered or not ung Odometer?

May thread ba dito kung paano magtamper ng Odo? I think knowing how to do it can help in learning how to know if the car is tampered or not..

YES, kaya as much as possible 'wag maging excited when it comes

to buying previously owned vehicles. i've heard even digital odo

can be kalikot overnight. :insomnia:

sir correction lang po.
nowadays, it can be done in less than 1 hour.

Just don't trust the odometer. Check out the general condition of the vehicle. A properly maintained high mileage unit can still be a better deal than an abused low mileage one.

thank you guys for the replies...

namomodify pala sya... deep sigh! so given na nasa 200K na ung milleage then nabili ko ung car at 180,000. ok nmn kasi ung paint, my konti lng scratch sa unahan. ok din ung interior nya. i must admit i bought that car in haste. nalove at first sight kasi ako eh..

at 180K, worthy ba sya? or iiyak na lang talaga ako?

Bro, pahabol lang, na-amaze lang ako kasi ganyan na ganyan din ang nangyari ( halos eksakto ang naging situation natin ) nung binili ko yung 2nd hand na kotse ko, 97 lancer El din, 180k din..pareho pa tayo ng modelong nakuha..nakuha ko yung kotse sa ahente dito sa may imus cavite kaya ingat kayo kapag kumukuha ng 2nd hand lalo na dito sa cavite dahil madami talagang manloloko ..( nagpost na din ako dito last time ang title ng thread is " tampered kaya odometer ko ? " )

Yung mileage nung makuha ko yung car is 77K ( your's is 71k, lamang ka lang ng konti ) Kala ko ok na ok tapus naisip ko pa na naka-jackpot ako sa nakuha kong kotse..parehas tayong na-love at first sight sa looks ng pizza type lancer..hehe..

Pero after 2 months ng ginagamit namin yung car, naging 188K bigla yung mileage nya ..anak ng kamote e halos bihara lang namin gamitin yung kotse bat naging ganun bigla mileage ..ayun at nagduda ako na TINAMPERED na nga yung odometer nito ( digital din )

Humingi nga ako agad ng advice sa mga kasamahan natin dito sa tsikot kasi worried talaga ako..baka kasi madaming bumigay sa mga piyesa lalo na kung ganon na kataas yung mileage ( and besides di ko alam yung history ng car, buti ka nga at may logbook pa na nakita and nakausap mo pa yung may-ari, sa case ko wala na yung dating may-ari nag-abroad na daw..malas talaga )....thanks nga pla sa mga nag-advice nuon..

Ang unang ginawa ko ay nagpapalit agad ako ng timing belt ( Pinakadelikado sa lahat and iniadvice din ng mga peeps dito sa tsikot na palitan agad ) para makasigurado..tapus sunod ay nagpatune up ako and nagpatimpla ng carburator..Yung ibang palitin ay ini-unti-unti ko na..disc pads etc..pati aircon nagpalinis na din ako..medyo magastos pero at least palagay na loob ko na kahit papano ay maayos na yung sasakyan..

So far ay ok naman yung sasakyan..pero lessons learned..dapat kung kukuha ng 2nd hand na kotse, dapat ay i-check talagang mabuti para walang hassle ( Documents and conditon...o kaya sa kakilala na lang kumuha para siguradong may habol pa )..sad to say lang na talagang madaming manloloko dito sa atin
gagawin ang lahat makabenta lang...tsk..tsk..

yup. agree with this.... i've seen a CRV who is driven once a week from baguio and back dahil andun yung business ng owner...

after two years, the CRV has logged more than 125000 kms... pero nung nasakay ako minsan still feels brand new, ni walang kakalampag-kalampag.. the aircon is still cold and the body is still makinis...

[mbeige]

Very true Doc, maintenance is more important than overall mileage. Heck, our MB wagon has 372k miles (598k km!) and it runs strong on the highway at 120kph. 400k km more to go and we get a free Benz!

Another thing to note is if you constantly drive the car on the highway, that is much (and I mean MUCH) better than driving it in city traffic. Kaya kung puro highway miles, that's better than having a low mileage city driven car.

[Hanren]

tsk tsk! garapal na pala talaga ngayon! mali ang nabalitaan ko.

Yung sa amin dito sa Baguio may nagaadjust daw ng car mileage kahit digital...naka advertise pa nga sa local daily eh.. ang charge nya 5k ang kapal nga eh..

[katsudon_ph]

eto classis example, I sold my pickup with odometer of 130,000++km, then kanina gumala me sa isang 2nd hand car dealer and lo and behold andun ung sasakyan ko na of course much higher na ung price... but also tampered na ung odometer.. naging 36,000km na lang sya.

.. to think ang dahilan nya gagamitin raw sa farm and hindi sa buy and sell hehehe.. the buyer is also a tsikot member i think.

[katsudon_ph]

my pickup is already digital odometer. )

[bratski]

my bro in laws bmw has 9000km odo reading when he bought it. Nung dapat papalo suppossedly sa 10k naging 30k ang reading, he was furious about it and sold the car right away. ang technique sa digital odometer ay i-short yung ilang lcd digit sa display to make a lower mileage reading. ex yung 8000 pwedeng maging 6000 by shorting the upper right portion of the number 8 etc.. 5k ang singil sa ganitong job according to a friend who's into buy and sell

Ako naman suspetsa ko dun is pinatay nila ung 1st digit kaya lumabas ung mileage nya at 36500... make sense kc i sold it with mileage of 130,000 tm.

its safe to assume almost lahat ng buy and sell agent do this.. so beware na lang kayo peeps. sabi nga ng mga magagaling sa auto d2 sa tsikot.. its not the odomedeter... check the unit itself (in and out). kung d sobrang makinis ang pintura pero okay naman interior and mechanical /engine nya kahit medyo high mileage.. baka good buy na yun kaysa low mileage kuno na sobrang kintab galing sa 2nd hand dealer.
