VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT 02/2006. TO DATE THE ODOMETER IS READING MORE THAN 30,546 MILES. MY DAILY COMMUTE TO MY JOB ROUND TRIP. IS APPROX 76 MILES DAILY. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A TOYOTA HYLANDER. IT WAS BOUGHT IN AUGUST 2002. WHEN I TRADED THAT CAR IN TO COGGINS HONDA IT HAS A TOTAL OF 57,816 MILES AND IT RAN A ROUND TRIP AND A HALF FROM NEW YORK TO FLORIDA AND BACK. IT WAS BOUGHT IN FLORIDA AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO NEW YORK VIA THE AUTO TRAIN WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR THIS HONDA CAR WILL HAVE DOUBLED ITS MILEAGE. THE MATS IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE APPEARS THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS IN USE OF THIS CAR. IT IS HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE THAT I WILL BE KEEPING THIS CAR MUCH LONGER. I NEED AN EXPLANATION FOR THE DEALER WHY THIS ODOMETER SEEM AS IF IT SET ON SPRINGS LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY, IT JUST KEEPS RUNNING ON AND ON WITH NO INTENT ON REGULATION. THANKS, LORNA INGRAM *TR
