Odometer tampered

[1D4LV]

Heard from a friend his brothers toyota altis 2006 i think got the odometer lowered to 25k mileage from 80k plus paid only 8-10t pesos its digital daw

not sure if this is true my friend just told me this was suprised its possible

things people do to fool people....tsk.tsk.tsk.
ako what i do, is if i sell a high mileage car, is to tell the buyer bakit ako inabot ng ganitong kilometrahe. and besides, if you keep the car in its best condition, extra cost lang ang mag bayad ng 8k just to change mileage of your car.

i would rather spend 8k-10k to repair much needed repairs, and show the buyer that i've repaired it.

Ngayon kinakabahan tuloy ako dahil nakabili ako ng ford explorer sport trac 2001 model 17k lang ang tinakbo, although napakakinis pa naman lahat maliban sa natunaw ang cruise switch ng steering wheel.

Yung nabili kong White 1997 Nissan Cefiro just this March 2009 (155k price, down muna ako 130k), 56k km lang "naitakbo" ayon sa odometer eh ako atat na akong makakuha ng kotse, na-sales talk pa ako nung owner na super ayos talaga as in Ball Joints lang ipapagawa. Eh ako naniwala naman, I never did a test drive since 56k km palang naitatakbo, tsaka nasasabik na ako sa car, before kasi basta V6 engines gusto ko.

Since I know kung ano ang condition dapat ng isang 56k km odo reading na car (nadala ko na yung Advie kasi nung nasa 53k km na ito). Aba sobrang laspag na pala, lagutok pa ng lagutok although masasabi mong maganda talaga ang makina, pero lahat masama. (electricals malfunctioning, clutch eh naiipit pagka-release, radio eh japan pa (hanggang 89.9 lang pwede), lagutok kada kabig ng manibela, pabagsak na rin ang rain guard sa ilalim ng hood atbp.)

So nakita nung kuya ko, buti nalang talaga marunong tumingin ng sasakyan, sinabi sa akin na laspag na daw talaga sobra, ayun tinawagan ko yung may-ari, pinilit kong ibalik yung sasakyan (reason ko nalang hindi kasya sa garage well in fact hindi rin talaga kasya dahil mas mahaba pa pala ito sa Adventure namin). So pumayag naman siya, less than 20k ang naibalik sa akin. Sabi ko dibale na basta maisoli na itong problemang Cefiro. So isinauli ko ito bandang 12am na sa Blue Wave, dahil gusto ko rin masubukan yung V6 engine, hinarurot ko ito. (Matulin talaga ang V6 hehe pero gas guzzler)

So pagbalik sa Blue Wave, may isang potential buyer na rin na titingin ng Cefiro. So I got my money less 20k nga lang but at least naibalik ko ang future problem ko sana. Nung tinest drive nung potential buyer, ayun isipin niyo iyon, tumirik bigla. Naputol ang Timing Belt anak ng..

Ngayon, I'm so happy with my Alto hehe.

Galit na galit yung owner kesyo sinira ko daw eh isip-isip ko lang niloko mo ako ng todo sa odometer mo eh, nung sinabi kong inikot yan noh? Sabi niya hindi daw. Nung sinabi ko naman na naputol ang odo niyan noh? Wala na siyang sinabi hehe. Pinakabit nalang ulit siguro kaya umaandar na ulit.

Isipin niyo yun, napakadaming problema, Ball Joints lang pala ha hehe. Way back March hindi pa ako gaanong nakakaintindi sa mga kotse unlike now na mas marunong na hehe.

Well, in our case last year we sold a 2007 Hyundai Starex GRX A/T (101-102k mileage) to someone who apparently belongs to a car exchange business. I heard from a friend that he was looking at that exact unit and was almost willing to buy it. He claims that it has 75-80k mileage na lang upon checking. Good thing he did not buy it. I don't know if it's karma for tampering with the odometer but every time I pass by that car exchange, that vehicle is sitting on that lot for over a year already while other cars come and go. I just hope the odometers of those cars weren't tampered. )

Kung ako mas ok pa yung mataas ang mileage basta maayos ang sasakyan, at least alam mong well looked after kaya kahit ang taas na ng mileage eh maayos pa din at maganda pa rin ang tayo.

Sorry hindi lang pala 75-80k mileage. I was checking used cars and I found the exact starex that we sold based on the stickers on the windshield and interior. 48,000km na lang daw ang tinakbo from 100k+++ ) https://www.philmotors.com/Hyundai-S...ines34185.html

depende yan, dahil ang usual thinking kasi the lower the mileage the better kasi nga ang ibig sabihin hindi pa masyado gastado yung makina. like when i'm trying to sell my montero, yung isang buyer ang tiningnan agad yung odometer (80k+ kms) and tinanong at ilang years (3yrs). then after test driving with kasamang mekaniko, he tried to haggle the price to a point na hindi na reasonable kasi nga daw high mileage na normal lang sa akin yan kako at daily drive ng asawa ko pansundo ng kids saka pang out of town trips namin kapag bakasyon ako from abroad. masyado na daw gamit na gamit hahaha! kung nasa less than 20k kms sana daw ok pa... saan ba may nag-aadjust ng odo joke!

Magkano bili ng buy and sell sayo?

[Stigg ma]

I've been a Victim... Ganun talaga dito sa pinas madami manloloko...

hindi lang sa pinas, sa buo mundo madami manloloko, kahit pa sa USA! isang 1st world country...

kaya kung bibili ng 2nd hand, sa kakilala lang para mapagkakatiwalaan, not unless expert mechanic ka sa kotse...
