UNEVEN ODOMETER NUMBERS

[PFORPAUL]

I notice that some "for sale" NSX's--when they show a picture of the odometers the numbers are not perfectly lined up--I KNOW that when it rolls to a new "thousand" they
might not line up perfectly--for a few miles-

I was always told that this was a strong sign that the odometer was rolled back

Is this correct or not ? please look at yours before you comment----thanks

That's what I was told too, Paul. Mine are straight though. PHEW!

An odometer is supposed to tell you how many miles a car has been driven. It can be altered easily. The car you think is new may be used, and the used "creampuff" may be a high-mileage clunker. There is no foolproof way to detect a rollback. Some of the warning signals are apparent tampering or looseness in dash board; digits out of alignment, perforations in odometer; sticking digits, condition of vehicle inconsistent with alleged mileage; inconsistent wear in the interior; and old service or inspection stickers.

It is completely normal for the numbers not to be even (within reason) and I've also noticed that NSXs are more uneven than most othe cars.

Mine are ever so slightly uneven.

I do not know how to post the picture-but a good example is item 2406533610 on ebay.
Click on the picture of the odometer.

Does this look normal compared to your car?
I am only using this car as an example of my
question-I am not attempting in any way to make a negative statement on this particular car

That odometer looks perfect to me. The 9 is on it's way to zero so it has moved slightly.
