You said car had a position sensor replaced at 1200 miles. What date was shown on the repair? That will give you another data point. If it's 3 years ago, opps! If it last month, 1800 could be right.

if this number of people who have the right connections or know themselves how to install a stopper, why are you so extremely concerned this car was tampered with? not to mention you earlier said how easy it was to install these stoppers. you contradict yourself multiple times. this thread is getting shady fast. you seem very weary of this car, which is by no means a bad thing at all, its a big purchase. But I'm going to +1 if your this untrusting of the owner and car, you might be better off trying to locate a different car. Good Luck either way.

*Trip*

The OP is def a shady character. ...so he assumes everyone else is out to cheat him...if he was an honest guy he wouldn't even be thinking about all this....plus, he has spent an inordinate amount of time defending how normal it is with everyone he knows to use this common jumper/stopper. ... which is a crime.....sounds like he's hanging out with the wrong guys....

But the real answer is that a smart programmer can probably out smart almost any auto ecm on earth.......so if you don't trust this car then take a walk. .... and if your boat is worth 40k then you can sell it and buy any car you want...

Mr.Nubain

PBC and all of South Florida is full of shady people looking to make a quick buck, it's what sets that part of the country apart from most. I don't know what your concern is OP, if you have a gut feeling go with it and run the other way. What more is there to say.

#1 - You need to re-read things twice so you can comprehend better....nobody called anyone any names
#2 - 96GS#007 used the intraweb typical "Crack Pipe" comment.....needs to grow up
#3 - Im not trying to prove anyone is a liar....I don't want to get stuck with a car that has false mileage, THEN I get blamed for it one day when its at the dealership for work. IT HAPPENS.....

There are car shows down here in South Florida where 1,000 cars will show up. People openly talk about their "stoppers". They aren't my friends. But I have seen them work.....
The Vettes lose the analog speedo....but the HUD speed readout still works. RPM gauge still works.

Jeez....if I was using stoppers why would I come here to give myself away. Im trying to figure out how to make sure a car I might buy is not a cheater car.....that's all.

Not sure why anything here is shady......Im sure not. I want the true mileage on my car or any car I might buy because its too stupid to cheat a few thousand miles when it doesn't even help the value that much....plus you risk getting caught and then you have a car worth nothing that nobody will buy.

Ill do you one better. Next time I go to a show or any local shop where someone has one....I'll post a nice clear video of one in action. If they'll let me......

I explained how they work. You turn it on and the "jumper" disrupts power to the analog speedo, its just opening a circuit that was just closed, which in turn cannot tell the cluster to keep counting miles anymore. You lose that speedo. But the HUD speed read-out still works and so does every other item. I think you also lose the MPG computer too.

Some other cars....you lose the entire gauge cluster. Those people say they have to turn it on from time to time to check the gas gauge so they no when to fill up, because you lose the gas gauge needle too.

I can't believe a forum of thousands of people have not seen these over the years.......strange.

400ci94mm

Have fun with this thread....Ill post if my tuner finds something or if the dealership does.

Ill post a video of a stopper in action if I can find someone to let me do the video on their car.

Outta here......

Idk this thread sounds fishy everyone has tried to help you and you just attack them
And if your boats worth 40$ why would you still be giving 19k on top
Speaking from years of dealin with boats and cars your numbers and facts are way off hard to believe you bought a boat for 19 now it's worth 40 especially that boat
Also I've been around cars for my whole life and never heard of this stopper I'm fully aware of ways to stop mileage on older cars but corvettes impossible computer would throw a error lack of communication
But again this thread sounded weird from the get sounds like it's your car and your nervous

So which is it? "Everyone wins" or "its too stupid"?

I feel sorry for the OP......nobody wants to tell him if he could get busted using his "stopper".

Someone needs to put a stopper on this thread.

By far one of the dumbest threads i've ever read on this forum. I try to play the middle ground and see things from both sides BUT....the OP shot himself in the foot when he said he has a boat worth x amount of dollars and he doesn't want want to get stuck with a car that has an odometer that was possibly tampered with...

#1 Ok why the F@*k even go through this MUCH trouble if you even have doubts
#2 If your boat is worth as much as you say it is (i wouldn't know, im not into boats) sell it for big money and look for another vette. There are WAY too good vettes going for good deals. And in 3 or 4 months there will be even better deals when fall/winter comes

Actually im dumb for even keeping up with this thread and even dumber for posting in it

Push the blue OnStar button and ask the operator to run a diagnostic and then tell you the reported mileage.

I wonder if the Onstar folks can see engine hours ?
