Because if you're selling the car through a private party sale, then you could tell them the odometer reading, they'll read it on the odometer in the dash, and they'll take your word for it even if it's incorrect. Average individuals do not have the tools to compare the odometer reading to the reading in the internal computer before they purchase the car, or even after.

I'm not planning on selling it, but you never know what your situation will be down the road. And modifying the car does not make it unsellable.

You could also possibly run into warranty issues as well if the mileage on the odometer doesn't match up with the internal computer. It is FRAUD to tamper with these things and not have the proper paperwork for it.
