Whether to trust the car speedometer?

Buying a used car, each buyer, rightfully, He wants to know the real technical condition. The seller often tries to hide the true state of affairs. The issue price and quality - a key market and, Consequently, how to check the mileage of the car - not curiosity. Condition of the vehicle must comply with its price.

Unfortunately, in life it is impossible

Immediately I must say, that with 100% результатом этой задачи не решить. This would require the dismantling of many vehicle components and their research under special conditions. However, many indirect signs with a certain probability we can even roughly estimate the car, its degree of wear, but, Consequently, and decide whether to buy or waived.

What is the mileage from cars?

The main symptom, which indicates the intensity of use of the machine, It is the ratio of the age and mileage. car mileage is the first sign, which will make the right choice of a particular vehicle.

As known, the mileage is determined on the basis of the counter reading. So the first, each buyer will pay attention to it. Pay attention to possible, but the findings do not necessary.

It's not a secret to anybody, that the counter can be changed, Distance Bundle. mechanical odometers, working through the cable from the gearbox, very easy to twist. You can disconnect the cable and turn the back to the desired figure. If it is possible to disassemble the dashboard (as vases), the entire block of the speedometer and the counter can be removed, disassemble, set the desired run and collect all the back. With electronic counter difficult task, but it is solved, as they say “business master fears”.

In place of the mechanical and electronic odometer came device are included in a single system, jk-panel. It would seem that, Such a system makes it possible to eliminate the problem of "twisting". But no. Program in the car can be changed. Done chip tuning cars, by which changes its properties are much more important, mileage than.

In fairness, that such conditional simplicity possible in relation not for all cars. To a greater extent this applies to European brands, among which producers are not particularly secretive. The Japanese car pull up run will be more difficult. Block, responsible for Odometer Reading, hidden in the bowels of the car. Changing processor firmware, in European cars, you can not get the desired effect. But the "holy place is never empty". As known, all the secret becomes a reality, have craftsmen, which can solve this problem.

If the counter can be changed, why not do it. Many retailers use this ploy. However, it, rather, It is psychological. It is necessary from the first steps to attract the customer's attention, position it to this machine, and if he is a layman, let them learn from their mistakes. The numbers on the speedometer only convention, they fully trust does not make sense.
