I friend of mine had a switch installed on his leased car odometer/speedometer so he could shut it off. He was extremely careful to keep maintenance records consistent with drive time (performing his own oil changes outside normal service). To me the risk would be way too high, but it could be done in the early 2000's. Not sure about today.
- jedberg 5y agoSure, there are people who break the law all the time, and some get caught. But most people are honest and law-abiding most of the time. To be clear, what your friend did wasn't just unethical, it was straight up illegal. In fact, since it was a leased car, he not only broke the law about illegal vehicle modifications, but he also committed fraud against the leasing company. Also, doing something like that today would be very hard, because very few cars still have mechanical odometers.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoOh completely agree. FWIW it was a digital odo/spedo on a Lexus.
