Buy low mileage cluster. Swap clusters once car is acquired = parents!

This has been discussed many times / also HIGHLY illegal

swap your cluster, show your parents, put the cluster that came with it back in. When your parents ask you how you put 40k miles on it since you've bought it, tell them you've been having fun driving and you just cant pull away

seriously though, when/if you go to sell your car carfax reports will show if mileage has changed and you'll turn away a lot of buyers if a roll back is evident.

In some states you have to keep the original odometer connected to the car.

The odometer needs to be the same to match the miles on the body, not the miles on the engine.
