Rolling back electronic odometers . . .
How easy is it to roll back modern electronic speedos? I'm hunting for a good C6 to buy and don't need any surprises.
I get conflicting info from "car guy" friends: some say it's fairly easy with the right PC program, some say it is not easy.
Of course with Carfaxes and similar reports available today, depending on how extensive the entries are, it would not be as easy to get away with it as it was in the old days.

Usually people would just buy a new cluster guage with low miles on it if they're that determined to cheat the system, but then of course the mileage wouldn't match the VIN in any reputable shop. I'd say you're safe 99.8% of the time.
