If your looking into resources to help you make decisions in the used car buying process, go to Wikipedia and search Carfax (company).

Well this is interesting. There is a barely used Spark EV I was seriously considering that has been advertised with under 100 miles on the odometer. They even show a picture of just the corner of D.I.C. with the miles. And the Carfax shows under 100 miles, too.
Today I asked my local dealer in CT to look up the VIN in GM's records and guess what we find? The car had 17,385 miles as of 02-03-2015 when the hood latch recall was issued. Hmmmmmm .....How could this possibly be, I ask myself aloud.....
This MUST simply be a typo in their advertisement (that shows up on every used car search I've seen), right? Yyyup, that's what I think. I emailed Carfax just in case they gave a damn. I'll post here again if any additional info is unveiled. (sorry for swearing, Jsca)

P.S. I knew there had to be more to the story with this car. So before making a "sight unseen" car purchase, have a dealer - whatever brand it is - check the MANUFACTURER'S data to confirm Carfax details. Remember the line: "As reported to Carfax" (same with the other one).
