Last month I was going to purchase an 87 Buick Grand National with 56,000 original miles on it from the second owner. VIN # 1G4GJ1177HP439319. When the carfax was run on the vehicle, it only had one odometer reading from one state DOMV at 127,000 miles. The owner felt that this was wrong was going to file a grievance against CARFAX. Has anybody heard of them being wrong in the past? I feel bad for the guy if he is being truthful as he might of bought the car feeling that it was a low mileage vehicle or perhaps it is a low mileage car with a bad odometer reading on carfax report.
We were going to make a deal at 13,000 which is great for a 56 K car but for a 156,00 perhaps a little high. He is confident of the mileage he says that it is and won't move from 13,000. Car has a 5 year old paint, new carpeting, headliner, and some minor rust under the doors, other wise all original.
I regret not buying but should a guy just walk away from the car and keep looking? I wont post the guys name but here are a couple photos without anything identifiable to him.
