Odometer Rolled Back?

Got the "Car Fax" from ETXTacoma and it shows it was rolled bacK? Attached below is the section with the miles, What would be your next step?

 

It has a clean title btw

 

What does your odometer read?

Could be a re-build?

 

I found this online, I guess this would be my step in California ?

I picked it up at 106,000 and its currently at 111,000

 

Someone pulled a fast one

Was the odometer replaced? Someone may have accidentally entered the in the wrong numbers, happens all the time at dealerships.

 

not that i know of*

 

Look around the drivers door and under the hood for a odometer replacement certification sticker.

 

will do after work, will post findings

 

The thing was rolled back 100k miles. There is not going to be a sticker for that.

 

Actually excuse me. OP, you might have a sticker that resembles this in your door jamb:

Two possibilities: either someone rolled it back and pulled a fast one, or they replaced the dash console for a legitimate reason.

I did that with my old poverty spec 97 5 lug. I replaced the lame no-tach console with one that had a tach (it was a 5 speed for god's sake!), but it had fewer miles on the odo. When I traded it in for my current Taco, I told them about it, even gave them the mileage difference and filled out some paperwork. A few weeks later I get a call from the DMV and they were all hot and bothered I was trying to pull one over. I explained what I did, even offered a copy of the paperwork I had.

The DMV guy said he'd call the dealer and check. He called back a day later. Apparently the dopey salesman at the dealer didn't file the paperwork properly.

 

That sounds legit, but they didn't let me know when I bought it, it's in great condition and it's a 14 year old car so I guess I'll just keep it till it explodes. Let this be a lesson to always get carfax !

 

I know it's a little off topic, but you can swap the ODO reading from the no tach cluster to the new tach cluster. I did this when swapping my no tach cluster into my 5 lug Tacoma...

 

Would have been good to know that 10 years ago when I got rid of my 5 lug...

I remember having to break into the cluster, and I was too lazy. I was just glad the swap was plug and play and I didn't have to re-wire anything.

 

BTW, I live in Carmichael. Probably seen you driving around.

Carfax's are great, but from what I understand not every car has them, and not every shop reports to them for the repairs. So you are basically just getting when people wanted to report to Carfax.

 

This is correct.
