Hey guys, hows it going?
I did a car fax report on my car and according to that, I should have more milage then i do on my car. It says i should have over 180,000 and now I have 128,000. Any idea on hwo to check the actual milage? Also in 88 for the 2.8 firebird, what speedo was in there? I have a 120 mph, is this stock? Thanks guys

Heres a copy of the report:

when did you purchase your car.,, could of been rolled back before you bought it,, that sucks.. ,

 

Maybe the person who put the mileage on the title put an extra 1 in there, because I seriously find it hard to believe that little 2.8 would go 115,000 miles in two years. It sounds like it went 15,000 miles and someone just messed up while writing it down.

 

yeah that sounds about right

 

Yeah same here. On my title though it says unknow milage i remember, or a check NOT next to know mileage, something like that, Does this mean anything? Thanks guys

 

I don't know about when GM switched to the higher speedo, but my 87 had an 85 MPH unit. It sounds to me like the previous owner of your car upgraded the speedo for some reason (maybe the old one broke or he just wanted to think he was able to go faster) and never had the odometer rolled to the proper milage (probably didn't know where to send the unit to have it done).

 

It's pretty unlikely but not impossible. Back when I worked for Toyota, a guy had a 2 year old Corolla with 200,000 miles on it. Ran perfect too.

 

Yeah, IDK, Is there a way to track down the orginal owner? 115,000 miles in a year seems alot though plus the engine runs stronge still.

 

is there a way? cause i would like to know, id go to his house and beat the crap out of him for disconnecting a ****load of vacume lines

 

LOL Yeah I agree with ya. Any ideas guys? Thanks

 

go to the dmv and buy a used car information package

 

whats that involve? What is it? Thanks again

 

should give you the names of all the previous owners

 

Cool, thanks man, does anyone know what gauge cluster was in my car? 88 firebird 2.8. Thanks

 

on mine, it does not have that exta number that represent the 100,000 mark. im just asuming i have 127271 miles but it reads 27271. why didnt GM add the extra number that tells you ur at 100,000 in there?

 

ya thats weird though huh. I don't know. I know firebird and camaros a little different though.

 

The gauge you have should be stock, since I have an 88 bird 2.8, with the 120 mph gauge, and I'm pretty sure that its bone stock.

 

thanks man, i think someone just read it wronge then, 115,000 miles is alot to put on in 2 yrs, lol. Thanks guys
