I'd never roll back an odometer. I'd never have to. There are 6 cars at this house. I drive 78 Ltd on thurs, 59 Edsel on fri, 62 Buick on sat, and 75 Tbird on sunday. My monday errands are done with 73 Buick. Each car, when driven, is used less than 15 miles per day. Until this year, I had cars with regular plates which have been sold.
in 2000, I bought a 78 Ltd with 19k miles from a junkyard for $500 and paid the taxes and registered it as classic to save on fees while keeping the car till I needed it. My other 78 Ltd got sold this year since it was getting high on miles so I went to register the classic one. The computers would not let it go through. I would have to rebuy my own car and pay taxes on what the state thinks it's worth($2500), and no guarantee that the title brand would be removed. After this fiasco, I sold the last regular plate car here.
Now my cars get driven instead of sitting all year. Previously, they only got around 50 miles a year because I do not drive unless I have to go somewhere. Either making money, shopping, pick something up or drop something off. If nothing has to be done then the cars do not move period.
