SOLD 2001 DBC 4x4

So, somehow I missed the fact one of the owners before me has potentially rolled the odometer back. I did not catch when I bought the truck, and it was the first used vehicle that I ever purchased. I definitely did not know what I was doing. How likely would it be that the odometer was rolled back vs just being replaced?

 

What makes you think it was rolled back? I don't know anything about this subject, just curious.

 

The Carfax that I clearly did not check when I purchased the truck.

 

Oof ​

 

I wish I could blame my youth, but I bought it in 2017. lol It was plain ol' stupidity.

 

So, odometer says ~210,000 miles (2 years ago when you first posted it for sale...).

How many miles do you wager it has? 350k? 400k?

 

227000 in 2015 - 199000 in 2017

Now says about 219000

Sooo ~250000?

 

It's pretty easy to do on first gens. You can buy an entire gauge cluster used from a wrecking yard or eBay and swap it out in 20 minutes. I actually did this on one of my previous first gens so that I could swap in a cluster with an OEM tachometer. It plugged in and worked perfectly and showed ~185K instead of 229k. I of course let the next owner know that I did this and gave him the old cluster to so he knew exactly where swapped it at. It was a pretty built up adventure vehicle so he didn't really care.

I think if you're up front about it, it's all good. Leave it up to the potential buyer to decide if they are cool with it. Even at 250k, that's not bad at all. In the last few months I've seen d-cabs with 200k+ listed for over $10k.

 

Yeah. I did the same with an old Chevy pickup I had as a kid.
Now that I know, I am definitely pointing it out, since that is a concern for some and something that any potential buyer now may want to consider when selling later.

 

Is this still available?
