Mileage Issue

[lsf911]

I own an 83 911 with 197,000 miles on her, but I always look at what's available for sale. What I see is most of the cars for sale have around 100K on then. How can that be?

Am I the only one that feels like most of these 911's have a lot more miles on them than the seller claims?

Easy:

- Many 911's had 5 digit odometers. (All prior to '77, right?)
- Many became garage queens that just didn't get driven.

I'm guessing that mileage is "not stated accurately" for ~50% of used car transactions.
