Odometer tampering
Bought a 96 Accord couple days ago. Found that the miles had been tampered with. My question is, is it possible to roll back miles on these vehicles. I am almost positive the speedo itself wasn't exchanged so wondering how somebody would roll miles back? Possible?

It is easy to do; however, it could also be that the previous seller had a malfunctioning speedometer (common on the 5th gen Accords) and swapped the speedo head which had different mileage on the odometer. Probably need to report to your State's department of motor vehicles.

No, speedo was not bad. Previous owner report 198k on the vehicle. 2 days later vehicle shows 128k from this punk we bought it from. We did catch it and got our money back. However, I thought it wasn't possible to roll back miles without damaging the odometer.

This is the kind of response that I'm looking for and respect. Thanks Redbull.

Glad you got your money back from what seems to be a scammer. Did you get it off craigslist or something? You might want to post on there saying there is someone in the area buying Hondas, rolling the miles, and then reselling them.

We plan to report the rolled back miles to the DMV.
