That's not what I'm concerned about, the issue is that it's adding more mileage then what is actually being driven, so I don't want it to read more then what it really has in the long run.
Second, is the inconvenience of having the speedo calibration removed "if" I ever have to have transmission work done in order for the warranty to be honored. I have no clue what brand of aftermarket gears are installed, or if the center gearing is used or new simply based off the previous owners post and his mods list. Because it says sorta built cobra rear center, thats what concerns me is all.

I'd keep all records for sure, if you bought a car that the dealer said is under factory warranty you have no obligation to fix anything that is normally covered. They can send it to HPP or wherever or put it back to stock but that's not on you. Sounds like the tech who passed it through the used vehicle inspection didn't do his job. Not having high beams and them passing it off is an instant giveaway.

Very appreciative of your help!!! Car is back at the dealership having a gear swap. This car is WAY to clean and nice to be giving it back for a simple speedo correction! You took extremely good care of this car and it still smells like a new car

Boomer, hope everything worked out for you. And Luke is right, used car tech didn't do his job. I'm a used car tech at my dealership. Interesting how the car passed state without high beams

Wouldn't be surprised if they just let that one slide so they could sell the car.

Well that's what it comes down to, they just wanted to make the sale. I'm happy with the car itself because its an amazing car, but the dealership really sux!!!

It wouldn't surprise me if the sales dept didn't even know of the problem. The tech passed it and nothing was said so everyone assumes it's all good. At my old dealership they'd make you do the work and not get paid for the labor since it was your own fuck up. Glad they took care of you though.

Yeah boomer, they assumed the car was in mint condition because of the low mileage. The tech was prob thinking, there couldn't be anything possibly wrong with the car. Glad they are taking care of it.

A little update, I finally got the car back this afternoon. They did a gear swap and now the car stays under warranty. Just glad to get the car home!
On a side note, who on here drives a 2013 Grabber Blue GT with license plate KRZ 10? This person had a DFW50s sticker on their side window, I seen you today in Irving on Beltline :-)
