So I have been driving my car for about a year now and have always thought The car had more milles on it that it says (127k) Given all of the repairs that I have done to the car. On a hunch I payed the for the carfax service and in 2005 the car had 212,465 milles on it ! My question is should I take it to the dealership and have them roll foward the milles, or should I just a cluster from a junk yard?

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

what did your title say it had? if the carfax reported 200+ and the car was since titled at anything less than that, it would have been flagged as a discrepancy...
either way at this point it doesnt make much of a difference... only person looking at it now is you. and if it comes to sell it, the cars old enough that 150k or 250k barely makes a difference...
- 1993 Accord LX - White sedan (sold)
- 1993 Accord EX - White sedan (wrecked)
- 1991 Accord EX - White sedan (sold)
- 1990 Accord EX - Grey sedan (sold)
- 1993 Accord EX - White sedan (sold)

If you want to "roll forward" the milage just pull the cluster and dismantle it its not hard to chage the numbers on the wheels. And yes that blows. And yes get a car fax BEFORE you buy a car... if its that important to buy it that day then its important enuf to get it inspected by a mechanic and have a car fax done on it.I cant Slam further. The ground refuses to get any lower.
