Honda Car Forum

I realize it is illegal, unmoral and I know how I would feel if i bought a
car with mis-representated mileage, so let's avoid plugging up this thread
with comments of the such.

I am about to lease a 2003 Honda Civic SIG 5 speed. My question is this:
Is there a way to install a switch, or unhook the odometer (before the
computer) so mileage is not recorded on the odometer or on the computer
itself? I know a couple of people who have done such a thing to domestic
vehicles and have had great success. Any suggestions, words of caution or
directions to where I may find such discussions is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich

thnks for the input Brian.
They allow 96000kms over the 48month term (24k/yr) and charge 12 cents/k for
every km over that figure upon returning the car. You can purchase
additional km's for 10 cents/km which hardly seems worth it. I have
budgeted myself for 2000km's /month and if I hold true to that there will be
no problem. However, it would be nice to be able to flick a switch when
nearing 2000km's and flick it back on after you have entered the next month.

Let's see, that would amount to aiding and abetting a crime... Pass.

Don't be such a tightwad.
