Oh.. He said, He bought it from dealership with loan

and they reported it as 50,000 , not like 50,132 50,121 ,etc.

so what he saying is, his carfax when he bought the car doesn't have any issues as mine.

and He said there wasn't any mileage fraud or switched dash or not working.

He told me he lost his title once , and get it duplicate 02/2012. thats only issue he's been through

and the mileage is actual mileage,

Okay so its what he told me, well I think the miles are on right track.

I think DMV just suspect that 50,000 isn't actual mileage .

I had a similar thing happen when I registered my evo. The person at the DMV counter just ask me what the mile were, i told her the rounded # and the title says "not actual mileage". Not really sure if there was a way to avoid it, but honestly, as long as the title is not salvage/rebuilt and never was a salvage/rebuild, I wouldn't have any worries about it.

If it was salvage/rebuild, it would say right on the title! atleast it would here in Wisconsin

If he unplugged the rear 02 sensor and put the wideband gauge in its place, then yes, perfectly normal.

My car doesn't have actual mileage. It's easy to do when the title gets a typo on it and the previous owner doesn't get it fixed right away. I still bought my evo with mileage issues.

The Arizona DMV fat fingered the mileage and put 750000 on the original title. So when i purchased it from a dealership that got it from a Arizona auction that issue just followed it. Still didn't deter me, but when i went to register it at the DMV and put 105,000 miles it doesn't match up and caused a not actual mileage issue.


Unless your paying top dollar I wouldn't worry about it.

He told he he didn't even know there was an issue

He said he still have his carfax right before he purchased a car, and

there was nothing just clean title.

Does this thing cause less value if I try to sell the car later ?

There's no accident or rebuilt whatsoever, just the NAM title.

Oh and one more thing,
He said he installed HKS272 cams, but he hasn't tuned it yet.
Is it dangerous to drive it without tune?

I would just drive the car very lightly until you get a tune. As for the mileage issue it might turn away buyers but I dont think it will affect the value. I will have my evo for a long time its just up to you.

Thank you for comment !

Will buy a car and he said he can't get me DC since there's nothing wrong with mileage, and he didn't even know DMV messed his title. And it doesn't affect anything

He seems very honest, car was flawless. will pick up the car soon and post pic

since I live in IN, I might go to AMS and let'em dyno tune my car on may .

It is Okay to drive it carefully without tune ? or should I get it tuned immediately?

and A/F guage, what number is average? I think I saw 12-14 when i testdrove it .

Around 15 at idle is where you want to be on 93 octane. That a/f is ok to drive on, better to drive rich than lean

Higher=lean=detonation
Lower=rich=no blown motor, but will not run right.
