Anyone who's ever shopped for a used car has seen these words in classified ads: "LOW MILEAGE". But can you be sure the numbers on the dash are true -- or have they been rolled back to inflate the value of the car? Computer hackers know how to roll back even digital odometers, costing you big bucks. Rolling back odometers is illegal, but it's a scam that's growing. Automotive experts say the best way to protect yourself against hidden problems in used cars is to do your homework before buying. Compare the mileage in the CARFAX Report with the mileage on the odometer. If it doesn't match up, don't buy that car.
