report him to your local authorities. Nobody wants to buy a 100,000 mile car thinking it's only 20,000 miles.

yeah. it is definitely illegal everywhere. or else you lease 5000 miles and drive 15000 miles without anyone knowing.

oh yeah. and i know it is possible. however, it requires taking apart the entire dash and unhooking it from something and it is complicated. i know someone who did it to a bmw x5.
