Odometer tampering cases on the rise here

[SLSAMG88]

use simple math to calculate. Avg mileage per yr is around 20-25k, if ever you can see 15k per year damn lucky. anything less than 15k per year is 100% tempered (unless its a OPC covert). I have got a friend only uses on wkends (sat and sun) 4 years car mileage about 40k (OPC car)...

 

Cheers

My 6 1/2 yr old car - 78000km - workplace nearby, but I also fly about a lot - everytime I bring my car for servicing the mechanic will ask me whether the odo has been tampered :-)

to me there is no "right" or wrong mileage because you really dunno who was the previous owner. salesmen vs taitai. the only way is to ensure you verify mileage, eg: check service record with dealer. if PI car or no svc records, i will stay away. i would rather buy a high mileage agent car (with svc records) than a low mileage one with no proof.

i got a fren 3 yrs old car only 12,000km... serious.

home to work is 2km.

 

Wa, your friend got no social life?? For 3 years, my workplace at genting lane is across my house. The distance 2 and fro was much less than 2km.

Yet I couldn't get even close to 12,000km for 3 years!!!

 

either you tua kang, or your fren tua kang, or he's a hermit without social life

That is a lot of exaggeration bah. Many have gotten by with lesser take home pay.

Sorry to say, I dun feel good at all looking at the OPC plate. Owning a car is more than a practical experience I personally feel.

 

Anyway how much more can you save?? I can comfortably afford my car and I never take loans for cars. So why give myself the hassle. Walk home from work, rain how??
