Default Planning on buy used Z, but the milage



I am planning to buy used Z, but I can't really trust the milage shown on the meter.

How can I trust the milage shown on the meter?

I have heard that I could check with ECU milage but how can I do that?

Thanks

According to CR, the MPGs posted by the EPA are WAY off. They did a battery of tests at their track in CA, and the averages for our monZters are:
MT: 19MPG for city driving, 25MPG for highway driving.
AT: 18MPG, city; 24MPG, freeway.

Hmm, is this in Korea? Do they have mileage checks with registration? I have to smog check my car every other year and the mileage is recorded then.

Yeah~ it's in Korea.
We use kilometer instead of mile, so people here change the gause cluster with kilometer on it.
So we can't really trust the milage shown on the odometer.
Is there anyway that I could check the milage other than what odometer shows?
