heres a good one for you. I went to look at this 2003 Jetta TDI with 115k miles. Someone beat me to it. I asked the owner if he sold it. He said the guy who got there first ran a carfax report and said it has 144k miles and was no longer interested. The owner didnt understand why the odometer said 115k but the car fax said 144k. He said he knows he put 14k on it so it really should be 158k.
The owner seemed honest and didnt want to sell the car until he figured out the discrepancy. I told him to run the vcds that the miles stored in the ecu and the cluster separately and someone swapped the low mileage with the higher mileage. But if that was the case than why does it read 115k?
How should I proceed? I want to try to help him and figure out the real miles. The car still has low miles and would like to buy it.
