It
will quickly become apparent that this 'minor inconvenience' is a much
more serious problem than you imagined that it could be. As a matter of
fact, you may face situations that have the potential
to be very costly. Just
a few examples of the circumstances you may eventually have to deal
with when you are not able to view your elapsed miles...
you can't check your gas mileage
you don't know when to
perform oil changes & other mileage-based maintenance.
you have difficulty
obtaining -- or are outright refused -- service under your
mileage-based warranties such as original vehicle warranties, extended
warranties, tires, brakes, major component repairs or replacements, etc.
you
can't track your mileage for proper reimbursement when you use your
vehicle in your employment. If you use your vehicle in support of your
employment, you need to document your mileage in order to be reimbursed
for your job-related mileage.
you
can't document your business mileage if you use the vehicle in your own
business. You must document your business-related mileage for many
important reasons, including your tax records.
you
can't establish your vehicle's value when you decide to trade or sell
it. (After all, would YOUpay top dollar for a used vehicle if you had no
idea
how many miles it had accumulated?)
