Everybody listen up. You only have one shot at this. Otherwise, your CarFax will have an odometer discreancy indicator for life. A lot of you don't know this.

The legal way to swap out the speedometer without setting the new odometer is by putting a clear label on the driver door jamb. On the label, you need to disclose the following information:

* date of swap
* mileage of old odometer
* mileage of new odomoter

I also suggest you put a statement to tell them how much to add/subtract to get the actual mileage.


Once you've done this, instruct everybody who may take your mileage to check the door jamb. You may also want to put a note next to the odomoter display itself to check the door jamb.

Negligent technicians may record the wrong mileage, and with CarFax scouring so many databases nowadays you'll never know if your VIN will be flagged.
