Wait, isn’t tinkering with odometers like super fucking illegal in europe?

Not in Germany. Here in France we know to never buy a used German car : the odometer would certainly have been tinkered with.

How the hell is this not illegal in Germany?! They love to over regulate everything

It is illegal in Germeny, if the purpose is to falsify it, and legal to correct a wrong record: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stvg/__22b.html

The trick is to correct it to a wrong record!
