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?)
