That's good news only if you plan to sell.

If you plan to keep it, it's not so good. Depending on how many miles were rolled off it could mess you up on the maintenance schedule, long term. You should factor that in when serious routine maintenance is scheduled.

As I mentioned, the car was brought to the dealer for a problem with the fuel gauge. Initially, what they did was to strip down the car to get the small piece that measures the fuel level and see if it's properly calibered. The measures provided by that piece was very accurate according to Honda-Canada so to solve the problem(?), they decided to change the chip that controls not only the fuel gauge but also the whole dashboard! To tell you how lucky I was, the dealer didn't take note about the mileage of the car when I brought the car in. The sticker that they put on the driver's door is just bull....I save like one year of driving.

Is that a leased car with an annual milage limit? If so and you drive alot it could be very lucrative indeed!

I forgot to tell guys my fuel gauge is still not accurate and from what I read, it's a normal thing with the S2K; lots of people have the same problem.
