How to tell if odometer spun over
Since our odometers only go up to 99999 is there anyway to see if it has spun over, my odometer states 35000 and I'm pretty sure that it really is 135000 but after seeing how clean th underbody is I find hard to believe that it really has over 100000 on it

Re: How to tell if odometer spun over
when I bought my car the seller was trying to say it has 79K on it, and I showed HIM the carfax that showed it had 135K as of 10 years ago, so it was at least 179K
Got a considerable discount for that, it paid for the carfax many many times over

MVD did a check for me, they said it was the correct mileage and also told me how many owners it had.

Re: How to tell if odometer spun over
I'm not sure but providing the ECM is original, shouldn't it contain mileage? A scan tool could show you that.

Re: How to tell if odometer spun over
possibly. on the car fax I bought, it had all of the state inspections on it, with the mileage at each inspection. very handy.

Re: How to tell if odometer spun over
For the longest time I thought I had over 215k miles on my 84 Trans Am.. Now I know that's not the case and makes the $500 I paid for it THAT much more sweeter..
