Have just seen this on the internet:

Quote:
The digital meters can easily be reversed. what they do is open up the meter and take out an IC which they replace with another one that is pre programmed and shows zero milage. then they attach the meter to a motor and spin the meter so that it thinks that the car is moving. in this way they take the meter to the milage they want. technically they cannot reverse these meters so they start from zero and take them to the desired mileage!

Whatever man has made it can be undone and where much is at stake be sure something can be done. If all people are looking for is low mileage.... give it to them, but sincerely ask yourselves how does a car that is used have 50k kms after 7 years - some possibly. I have had arguments that Japanese do not use their cars they have an excellent transport system blah blah all that is crap if you ask me.

Jans Trading cars have quite high mileage. My mechanical Engineer, (the kind you find at grogon, a graduate from University of Hard Knocks)tells me Mileage is not an issue as long as the timer belt has been changed. how true this is, i dont know. Of importance to me was that I get a good car, in good condition. Most kenyans are cheated as regards the mileage issue. many of those cars are tampered with. People buy cars to use, not to pack in their houses. A car manufactured in 2003 has had approximately 6 years on the road. Should the owner be as active as I am, doing 30000km per year...... do the maths for yourselves. ukitaka mileage enda showroom ununue 2010 model...
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be, and same goes for a fool.

True... timing belt/chain/cambelt should be change at probably 50,000 miles (80k kms) or 5 years, .... check service guide or with main dealership when it should be changed. No harm in having it changed earlier....
If the belt fails while car is running it is likely to cause severe damage to the engine.... (pistons etc)
The danger of insisting on low mileage car at a low price is the danger of having it clocked.
