How to get it if rolled back by scummers?
perhaps some traces were left in ecus?
Tech stream would help?

 

as far as I know it is simply to expensive to do so on any digital odometer.

All I can say is, highly unlikely, with a slim possibility.

 

Don’t have these concerns when you buy new

 

I am not in USAI am in Eastern Europe

 

I heard from some fairly reliable sources that it can be done for as little as couple hundred $$$. I'm fairly certain that the previous owner of the '06 Tundra I bought 6 years ago rolled the miles back, But at least it's the Tundra w/ the venerable 4.7 - 90K later still trucking along.

 

If it was done professionally, there is no way to tell. Also, rolling back is no longer an option on high end cars. There is just way too many places where the miles get recorded. So, what they do instead now is slowing down the car’s speed, by installing a special device. The car thinks that you’re driving 2mph when in reality you could be doing 60-100mph.

 

on newer cars, mileage is recorded in the gauge cluster and ECU

 

Cheeky basturds...
is there a record of an engine running?

 

Most cars log engine hours now also. Theres no way to tell I believe by the computer. Overall compare the physical condition with the mileage. If someone is trying to sell a car with 20k miles but the driver seat looks like an elephant has been sitting in it for years chances are your getting taken for a ride. Also helps to not buy cars from shady used car dealers or shady people on Craigslist.

 

Although a used vehicle is not necessarily a bad purchase (depends on the circumstances), there is always a significant element of risk to it, even, in some cases, with CPOs. This is why Jill and I generally advise people to go new rather than used. Sure, used vehicles depreciate and can usually be had cheaper,......but there is a reason for that depreciation, and the element of risk is part of it.
