What should you do if your '95 Lumina can't pass emissions testing and the Chevy dealer can't get the numbers down low enough?

Try testing the cat. converter if not try your oxygen sensors what did the dealer replace already? did you have a tune-up lately like plugs wires fuel filter anything like that? try the tune-up first then the oxygen sensors and if all else fails then try the cat. converter Don't have the dealer test it. Ask friends, that have old cars, if they know of a testing facility that might be more "understanding" of a vehicle that has a problem which doesn't directly affect the safe operation of the vehicle. In other words, there are testing stations that can and will pass such vehicles. You just have to find them.

How do you turn back mileage?
This is an illegal operation that will get you nothing but trouble. Don't even think about doing this. If you get caught, which you will, you will pay dearly. And more and more vehicles are storing information in the vehicle computer which makes odometer fraud much more difficult to perform and easier to detect. Most criminals don't think about the fact that when the car goes for emissions testing or to a dealer for repair, the mileage is stored in their computers. Go to a Honda dealer, give them your VIN, and you can get a printout of everything Honda ever did to the car...same thing with state emissions testing...the services like CARFAX pull this data to spot odometer fraud.
