Well, it's hard to say something exact, most cars end up being shuttled some distances under their own power. Some may even be transferred from one dealer to another under own power. Less than 3 miles would be rare, even on a brand new car, more than 100 would be a bit strange as well.

How do you determine car mileage?

For single trip mileage, before starting the car, write down the odometer reading, including the last number. If between two numbers, round up. So, your odometer might read 30,455.8 miles (total miles the car has been driven). Make your trip and before getting out of the car, write down the new odometer reading (round up if necessary). Subtract the smaller number from the larger number. To track your weekly, monthly, or yearly mileage, you'll need to write down the odometer reading at the start and end of each trip. Subtract 2 successive numbers to get "the trip" mileage on a certain day, such as to claim mileage on itemized taxes. If you want to know whether the car's lifetime mileage has been "rolled back" on the odometer or if the odometer has already "rolled over", consult a car mechanic to verify whether the odometer has been tampered with.


What should you do if you cannot continue paying on new car?

If you can not continue paying on a new car, the first thing you should do is read the loan agreement. It probably lists the steps you should take. You are not the first person ever to have this problem.


If a dealer sells a car as new but it has 5500 miles on it is that a breach of contract?

Not if it shows 5500 on the odometer which makes it obvious that the car was a demo model or previously owned. If the odometer was reset to zero, than not only was that a breach of contract, it was an illegal act.

Will a 2004 Honda Civic EX speedometer work on a Civic DX of the same year?

Yes. It will work without any modifications. However, local laws may prevent you from being able to do this legally. If the odometer is built into the speedometer, the new odometer must read equal to or higher mileage than the odometer you are removing. Not following such laws may result in fraud charges if you decide to sell the car in the future.

Can you return a used car if you later find out through Carfax that there has been a possible odometer rollback?

You won't be able to return the car, but, if you find enough evidence, and if the transaction wasn't that long ago, you may be able to bring litigation against the person who sold you the car. Tampering with odometer readings is a federal offense. Whether tampering is done by a backyard mechanic who resets the odometer before trading for a new car, by a person who buys a gadget to keep miles from registering on the odometer, by a dealer who contracts with a "reconditioning" firm, or by a multi-state used car mill, odometer tampering violates state and federal laws, and is punishable by fines, imprisonment or both.
