Car Fax Shows Not Actual Miles?!

Hi, the IROC I am looking at shows not actual miles on the title. How bad can it be for me? It was listed that at 109k miles and now it has 111k miles, 2 titles have the not actual miles title, the other 8 are normal. How much can this bring down the price?

Car: 1985 Camaro
Engine: .040" over 350
Transmission: T56
Axle/Gears: 9-bolt with 3.45s
Does the owner have some reasonable explanation for the discrepancy? What is it? Does it make sense?

I had to replace the speedo head in my Jeep and it dropped the miles back down to zero!

Haha 0 miles wow I bet that will bring in good money when you go to sell it... I'm going to ask him about it tomorrow when I go see it again... I'll probably end up buying it even if the explanation doesnt make sense, but I'll ask for a lower price.

On my car one of the smog stations keyed my mileage in wrong so it showed as a warning on carfax. Maybe a similar thing happened to your car. They were a number off on my report so you could see how they made the mistake.

I know when I just titled my car here in Mississippi it was returned as milage except from disclosure. I guess after a certain age and a retitle in a different state, it can be exempted.
