Is 90000 miles a lot for a used car?
Most manufacturers use a 30-60-90,000-mile schedule when it comes to major maintenance services, so a high-mileage vehicle may be due for one. The 90,000-mile services tend to be the most expensive, but they are also highly recommended if you want to keep the vehicle driving well beyond 100,000 miles.
What happens when your car reaches high mileage?
Theoretically, a vehicle that has covered more miles has more wear and tear, but a car with 60,000 miles on the odometer can easily be in worse shape than one with 120,000 miles. Overall, a high-mileage vehicle that is driven frequently and has been well-maintained will be a more reliable bet.
Can a replacement odometer show the original mileage?
The odometer replacement sticker will have the original mileage hand written on it from the tech who replaced the meter. The repair order will also have the original mileage and date on it, the repair order is a legal document, and it is proof of original mileage. The new odometer will start clocking mileage from that point starting at zero miles.
Why does my odometer stop working on my car?
Keeping track of your mileage is important. The only way you’ll know if your car hits the 200,000 mile mark is by having a functioning odometer. But the plastic gears that turn an analog odometer have a tendency to break, which causes the odometer to stop spinning.
When to get help for odometer rollback?
If you have already purchased the vehicle and you start noticing signs of odometer rollback, getting professional help is a necessity. The laws are very different from state to state, so having a lawyer representing you who knows the Consumer laws in your state is priceless.
Why does a car not go 300, 000 miles?
One main reason your car won’t go 300,000 miles is that you likely will get into an accident that will “total” the car, as it gets older. Again, “totalling” a car doesn’t mean it is unrepairable, only that it is not worth fixing. So, for example, you have a 15-year-old car with 175,000 miles on it.
What happens when odometer says 158, 000 miles?

When do you put odometer on your car?

If you have already purchased the vehicle and you start noticing signs of odometer rollback, getting professional help is a necessity. The laws are very different from state to state, so having a lawyer representing you who knows the Consumer laws in your state is priceless.
Why do I have to send my odometer to the metering shop?
The reason for sending both new and old odometers to the metering shop is because the mileage of the vehicle cannot change while the new odometer is being synced. If the instrument cluster is removed from the vehicle, it’s to be expected that the vehicle will not be driven.
