Very good point. Mileage exempt doesn't always mean mileage unknown.
But in this specific case, the car had apparently logged negative mileage since 2006 -- a period of eight years. And only 5k miles since 2002. That tells me the odometer broke somewhere between 8 and 12 years ago.
That is either a significant amount of unaccounted for mileage, or a car that has been sitting for close on a decade. Neither is a good thing.
A phone call to the dealer might yield enough information to make this a car worth investigating. But my general opinion is that if dealers (particularly boutique/exotic car dealers) have positive information on history and maintenance on cars like this, they are not shy about advertising it.
