I’m looking at a used car. The title and odometer both show around 124k miles, but Carfax has one service record showing 150k miles. The seller says a repair shop entered the mileage incorrectly during a service visit.
Assuming the seller is telling the truth and it was just a shop input error, how serious is this?
I sold my car yesterday for a cheap price because I know about its issues: the tires are old, from 2021, and the engine has an oil leak.
Today I found the same car listed again for about double the price. The new listing describes the tires as “fairly new” and does not mention the engine oil leak.
I’m not mad about the money — I agreed to the price and I’m satisfied with what I got. What makes me sad is that the buyer told me he wanted the car to teach his little brother how to drive manual, but it turns out he appears to be flipping it.
Just a heads-up for anyone shopping for any cars: please inspect it carefully and don’t rely only on the seller’s description
