mileage - I doubt it.
My HHR 2006 mileage was 56,000. After arriving in Russia Russian masters increased the mileage up to 102,000. In order to minimize customs duties. Time spent - 20 minutes. When will I sell my Swift - I will set a mileage, which I like. Theoretically even 2 meters.
In Russia, no one looks at the speedometer. The real mileage is determined by circumstantial evidence. Condition leather interior elements (steering wheel, selector), door handles, bolts and screws, the lamp cap and much more.
If this red car is sold Pakistani, Russian or Ukrainian - do not believe your ears, believe your eyes.

 

AMEN to that! Sounds like he got duped worse the second time getting an Accord! Especially since GM has so many beautiful sedans to choose from these days!

 

You can reset the speedometer? Dang, I should do that to mine... Anyone want an '06 1LT with 1,064 miles? (Gotta keep the numbers random...)

 

NO, they can't be reset. I'm guessing you can list whatever mileage you like in Russia and it's good? Seems odd, but if that is what works for them for taxes and such.

 

Oh ok... I mean, I would have thought it would have been a LOT harder to reset, but I figured who knows... It's not that hard to hack into a PC, I didn't know maybe it's not much harder to do that in a car...

 

fact is fact
real run in the U.S. - about 56,000 miles. Confirmed by Carfax and I saw him my eyes.
At the time of customs - increased to 102,000 miles. Now I have run 109,000 miles.
In Yekaterinburg, 2 experts on hacking GM computers. They are able to change the speedometer reading - the price is $ 100. In addition, the programming block, erasure codes (AIR bag, etc.) is on GM cars.
There are experts who specialize in other brands.
In Russia, a singular specificity.

 

I don't doubt it at all. My '06 HHR was purchased in '08 with only 7800k on it. The original owner bought it, it sat in the garage most of the time. Then he traded the HHR and another car on a new truck. Some people just have money to throw around. His loss, my gain...

 

I bet this guy purchased this and then later decided he didn't want to drive a stick anymore. Parked it and then decided to trade it in later hoping it would be worth more. How much you wanna bet the Accord was an automatic?

 

So, you're saying it had 7,800,000 miles on it?

 

Hey, Doc
7800 and 300 - are two big differences, as they say in Russia.
7800 - I trusted once and for all. 4,700 miles standing up for 2 years in a garage - it can be trusted. I have 2 years of actively used my HHR - mileage 15000 miles.
300 miles in 2 years! I think the first owner buys a new car dealer - has already mileage 50 / 60 miles. The test prog at the factory, loading and unloading for Shipping (trucks and rail platform), a test drives from a dealer during the numerous attempts to sell the car.
I do not believe that a happy owner mastered for 2 years only 250 miles. 250 miles = 10 - 15 days of travel to work (morning) and home (evening).
Here's the proof.

Old owner - a real hippo. Enormous weight and sweaty ass. In addition, he is not able to drive smoothly - Sudden accelerations and decelerations. I see no other explanation - it is very much stretched a leather seat upholstery for 15 days.


Yet he's blind as a hen or in the dark does not include lights. Maybe every day he hit the wheel on the curb specifically? This is an exciting game - who would kill the wheel faster.
