If a Porsche dealer replaced an 85mph speedometer they were required by law to put a sticker in the driver's door jamb indicating the mileage at time of replacement- also noted in service records for warranty purposes- which combined with the mileage on the new odometer was an accurate representation of the true mileage-of course many do it yourselfers swapped out their own speedometers & then when they sold or traded the cars inserted the 85 mph one back in claiming lower miles - bottom line is there are a lot of early 80's cars floating around with questionable mileage but the truth be told you should be able tell a 30 year old car with 60K miles from one with 250K.
