Calm down already...:D
My fondness for fox cars isn't in question, or else I wouldn't be here in the first place.
Furthermore, I wouldn't ever sell my car, to you or anyone else. That is NOT the issue here.
But if I did...I'd be more than happy to tell the prospective buyer that hey, the mileage isn't right, because I've changed the cluster...so...please don't question my loyalty on the matter.
When I said " box Fox"....i referred to MY car, not your's, not Eric's, nor anyone elses.
Yes, I can understand your concern over the fact that someone can, and probably has ripped off someone else over mileage discrepancies. The buyer needs to beware on the matter.
My point is...if you buy a 20 year old car, the accuracy of the indicated mileage is not as high a priority as say...the brakes, lighting, or any other safety feature...hell...some states don't even have inspections anymore, on that note.
But let's make sure that odo is accurate.
While I'm not trying to keep a conflict going, I do think it necessary that any and all info should be readily available to anyone...as Eric said, they may have a lesser mile motor installed, etc...Myself, I could care less what mine says...it'll never leave my possession.
To each his/her own I guess, and I'm sorry if you feel you need to leave the board over pretty much a trivial matter. This place is a wealth of info that is almost impossible to get anywhere else.
And...when dealing with used cars... "BUYER BEWARE!"
