No, because the how many miles a car has been driven affects everything about a car....now say you were to sell it you could say the car has 250,000 miles on it but engine has only 80,000 miles on it........

well if you drop in a new motor with for example 40k miles on it..the odometer will still say 133k so basically the motor will have 40k but hte chassis will have 133k, you should save the receipts and keep track of how much mileage the new motor gains once its dropped in...so therefore when you decide to finally sell it...then there will be no problems

well... my digital dash doesn't have a digital speedo readout.. it's still analogue roll over thing
regardless i think if it was that fancy the manufacturer would have to reset it but as mentioned above.... keep receipts
