you guys do relize alot of times cars say odo problem on carfax right? it happens very often, not because of a roll back but usually because when the car gets inspected or serviced the person putting it into the computer simply presses the wrong number or what ever. Keith's RX7 was like that im sure there are a handful of members here whos cars are like that and dont even know.

The way to tell is if the one where it shows lower milage was when it was being serviced it all of a sudden was clocked with less milage but then the next time the milage jumped back up or what ever. 99.9% of the time its just a small human error but it fudges up the carfax report in doing so

yea and if you look the one that has the higher reading is for a title which is usually written in by the owner. And the other is at an auction. I bet the auction mileage is wrong and the car actually has alittle over 125k

The only thing that would scare me about this car is it says that the car had an accident in 2005, and then the next time it even appeared on the registry is 2 years later?? Kinda strange, unless its just the person had the accident and then still just drove it around for 2 years until selling it which i guess could be accurate
