I bought the car used and it has always had his problem. The spedometer reports about 10 mph slower than I am really taveling. I have proof due to a speeding ticket. I have known in the past becuase of those road speed things that show how fast you are going.

The point is, the dealer said it would be over $500 to fix!?!?! No way am I giving those aholes anymore money. The needle used to woble a bunch so they said they "lubed up the cable." which fixed the wobling but still doesnt report the correct speed. That alone cost me 32.50!! For a cable lube job!! They need to be put in jail.

Anyway, anyone know how to fix this? Do I need to find another spedometer at a local junkyard? Any help would be great. Thanks!
