Either your speedometer was replaced (improperly), or someone tampered with it. Sorry to hear this news, dude.
 On the other hand, mebbe the Carfax report was inaccurate, or somebody entered the wrong info at the time it was sold/purchased? ------------------ Capri306, Moderator, The Mustang Works Online "PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!" |

Well at least you won't have to worry about those miles on the motor or tranny, or even all of the suspension since you are doing the swap right?

I think the information was entered incorrectly, because Carfax says that MY title says I bought it with 120,00 miles, but the odometer only had 84,xxx.
The Carfax database contains a total of 4 vehicle history records on this 1992 Ford Mustang LX (1FACP41M0NF111000). ------------------------------------------------------ Date: 07/07/1993 Odometer Reading: 16,573 Information Source: Mississippi Motor Vehicle Dept.

Maybe the person who had it before you drove 67k miles since they had it registered. I've seen new cars (2000) models with upwards of 30k miles on them at my dealership, some people has to drive cross state alot. Or maybe it was just incorrectly as you stated. Another possibility is that the odometer was rolled back....Did carfax enter it as 120k miles after you bought it with you as the registered owner or for the last person?
Well as long as the car is in good shape that shouldn't really matter. ------------------ '84 Mustang 5.0 LX my LX '89 Mustang GT my GT |
