not legally but yes it is VERY possible to do. It's not hard to find a shop in the GTA alone that will do that for you for the right sum of money.

True.
Plus many owners will pull the dash relay when they purchase a vehicle. This works on quite a few cars. The guages will not work (warning lights still do) but the odometer won't increase either. A small (and illegal) sacrifice for some.

Nice to see the forum is loaded with criminals. Almost makes me question buying a car from anyone other then a dealer now. I was looking into cars from ontario to purchase, but if they are all as honest as you guys I guess I'll have to go to a dealership which will hurt the pockets alot.

Well, you get what you pay for... If the engine is running bad but has low km then its obvious that it has been tampered with... Just get a safety inspection.. SILLY!!

The other thing you can do is this.....if you buy your vehicle from someone that has bought it brand new and was the only owner, there will be no record of mileage untill you do the certification, so you can roll the odometer back and then get it certified with the new mileage.
