Odometer tampered! HELP!

[dr. d]

Thank you po! I wish same po tayo ng mentality. Puro kase anxiety nararamdaman ko po ngaun. Pero maraming salamat po talaga! Sobra! Gawin ko po mga advice niyo. I salute you sir. Thank you!

welcome to the wonderful world of car-ownership! ...where the babies never grow up, and need more and more care as they grow older...
sigh...

btw, i drive a 2003 altis AT, with 95K on the odo. it's still a reliable drive.

Being a 2011 model, it should still be quite fresh except nilaspag ng previous owners. Yung other car ko nga is a 2003 model at wala pa naman akong major na naging problema rito except yung mga usual like alternator pulley bearing, rear wheel bearing (napapasabak kasi minsan sa baha), at evaporator ng aircon. So yung car mo from those issues you describe can be easily addressed. Yung mga scratches nakita mo na naman yan even before you bought the car so it seems it didn't bother you then.

Nalulungkot ako ng sobra sa nangyari. Siguro 5 years din ako nagiipon para makabili ng kotse... sariling sikap lang talaga at nakabili ako gamit ang sarili kong pera tapos ganun pa ung nangyare. Siguro ibebenta ko nalang tapos bahala na rin ung susunod na may-ari.

I feel for you...

Like what the others have said, what's done is done. Focus on what you can do now. Stop your negativity bias

(Well, I know those are easier said than done.)

But hey, when you look at your car again, try to see that it's a fruit of your labor! Not everyone has a car like you do.

[dr. d]

if i might inquire, how much did TS pay for the car?
(TS, if you don't like to put it here, you can pm me. no one will ever know. pramis.)

Thank you po! Mas mataas pa po pala model ng kotse ko sa isa niyong kotse pero heto ako nalulungkot sa nangyare. Haha. Siguro po I have to rethink bakit ako bumili ng kotse. Kase kung goal ko lang is to go from point A to point B, wala naman po sigurong problema. Thank you po.

ang hirap palang bentahan nitong si TS.second hand car po yan natural may papa ayos ka..sa odo naman hindi issue yan.siguro naman hindi ipinilit sayo ng may ari na bayaran yan kung ayaw mo talaga.

may nabili dati ako 2nd hand car pinalitan din ng strumental claster.na pang matic eh manual naman ung auto..binale wala ko dahil hindi naman un ang dapat mong pag basehan.kundi ung kundisyon ng makina at tsikot mo..

It is his first car, as much as he wanted to buy a brandnew, his pocket only allows pre-owned.

He is young and doesn't know about cars and whatnot.

It is the same feeling when your car had its first 'scar'. Either you live with it or you do something.

TS- many great advices you got here already. If it is only the tampered odo and that squealing sound but you bought it in bargain-- you should be contented.

I am sure this will be a different thread if you have bought a carnapped.

You will feel better ✌️

The hazards of buying a second hand car in the Philippines - maraming nandadaya sa odo reading. Best advise I can give (for next time) is do not buy a 2nd hand car without casa PMS records. Those are the only verifiable documents with odo/date records I can think of.

You really have to move-on. To have peace of mind, unahin mo yung mga importante, ipa-tune-up mo, change oil and papalitan mo na din ng timing belt & belt tensioner. Para hindi ka kakabakaba dahil kung maputulan ka ng timing belt malaki at mahal na gastusin aabutin.
