Good day good people.
I've been in the market for a Leaf as a second car for about 6 months with an upper budget of 10k USD equivalent.
An advert pops up from a local second hand car dealer with this 2012 Leaf with only 4500 km on the odometer and 12 bars of battery life.... all for the rough equivalent price of 8500 USD.
There was a photo of the dash that confirmed the odometer reading. Only 4506 km, They hadn't missed a zero off when they wrote the Ad. There was a trip counter visible that showed 941.1 kms
I've tried to include a link to the Ad but, being a newbe to the forum I may have messed up.

... and I'm in Sendai, Japan so you may have to run the page through Google translate.... but you can still see the photos....
The advert following this one was for a 2012 Leaf with 67000 KM, 10 bars of battery life for 8700 USD
so the questions:-
Can the dash be manipulated to look this way through software?
If the seller allowed the car to be taken to a Nissan dealership would the dealership be able to spot any manipulation?
Is there any other factor that could cause the price to be this low for a low mileage Leaf
Any other thoughts or advice?
Thanks.
Mike.
