carfax is a scam for people who know nothing about cars.....
Had a similar thing happen. I bought my 964 with 22k miles. The last time Wisconsin DOT checked the car it had 14k miles. For whatever reason, Wisdot reported my car as having 14k miles when I registered it because "it's exempt due to it's age". They default to the last report. Unfortunately, Carfax does not know, or recognize this. So now there is a series of reports up to 22k miles, and then my supposed mileage of 14k miles upon registering it. Naturally red flags go up. Wisdot also managed to interpret my written b-l-u-e as red. So I've got that going for me too.

Now (according to Carfax) I basically have a red car that used to be blue and had it's odometer rolled back.
