I don't think it's possible, but I believe the mileage is kept in the gauge cluster, so if you change to a lower mileage cluster...

It's possible in asia. i've seen it done many times by 2nd hand car dealers to get better sales.

What Loki said is true.

In North America, if a dealership is caught doing that, you can sue them and damage their reputation beyond repair, so it's very rare.

It's definitely possible. Very popular where I live. Just gotta plug the gauge cluster to a computer and set it whatever mileage you like.
