A big shout out to Freeper car-boys and ladies too. I bought this Honda Fit a few weeks ago. I saved the carfax report here>> IN PDF https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B7QZPTQ46hboktBAHlArJ8g1fr2JfcD9/view?usp=sharing Carfax says 14000 miles but on the electronic odometer it said less than 4000. I saw this in person at the Auto nation dealership. I looked in (me personally) at the dashboard and saw this lower number. The car is very good overall but what makes me suspicious of the actual mileage is that the brakes pulse a bit. As if they need resurfacing. Can Freepers explain this disjointed carfax report to me -- The difference between the 4000 miles and the 14000 miles. I told the salesman it must be a computer glitch and bought it. How often is carfax screwed up?

I use a USB and have only put 1 CD into my CD player just to check that it works...my current USB has a tad over 5K tunes on it...your friend should look into ripping his CDs so he can put them all on a single USB and never have to change a CD again..

I did some transfers to a flash drive for him. But he still wishes he had a simple stupid CD player in his 2019 Hyundai

Meanwhile I was told by the salesman that the USB port on my new (for me) Fit was just for charging. I was delighted to find that it played tunes from my flash drive. I don't have 5K tunes. More like 400 including Doors, Stones and House of the Rising Sun by the Animals. View From a Kill by Duran Duran. Red Rain too.

“My friend bought a brand new off the lot 2019 Hyundai a few years ago. He has a huge CD collection. But his car has no CD player. Only USB for a flash drive. He is pissed at no CD player.”

If his head unit has an FM receiver he can listen to his CDs using an old school Pioneer CDX-FM45 CD changer (or equivalent). Downside is it’s kind of bulky.

Years ago, I discovered Newsgroups had all sorts of music posted and nobody was bothering those who uploaded/downloaded the tunes as they were with the music sharing sites...gathered quite a collection.

I know exactly what you are talking about with the newsgroups. Here is a good MP3 downloader that works for youtube.

He is not one to mess around with his car like that. I am the kind that would.

“It looks like a data entry mistake to me. The mileage jumps over 10,000 miles in 4 days time. Is that even possible?”

I figured exactly the same. Data entry error.
