Wierd Odometer Mileage... Input?

[Dathaeus]

Ok I am no expert but this looks weird... seller told me there is 125k miles, but I did a VIN check and saw this:

09-09-2004 2 mi
11-08-2006 16,246 mi
08-15-2013 224,666 mi
02-25-2016 270,528 mi
05-11-2016 EXEMPT

What is exempt?

And thats some usage from 2006-2013.

Too suspect or just a technical glitch?

200k miles in 2006 - 2013 is ~30k miles a year avg. That's not an exceptional number.
I'd vote suspect.

I just read odometers are "exempt" on really old cars or super high mileage cars... I'm going to call the previous dealership and see if they can confirm this 200k+ when they had it, SMH... Always something... And this current dealer has great reviews on Google, why would he risk someone ramming him in a review but lying about the odometer.

Whatever it is, it's not 125,000 miles... not even close. If there was one discrepancy that's fine it happens, but multiple reports of that mileage indicates that is it's true mileage.

Some states don't require an odometer reading report on cars that are over 10 years old - Georgia is that way, and if you turn in a title on an older car and forget to include an odometer reading, that's what will show on the title. Probably a holdover from 5 digit odometers. The title can also be marked "exempt" if the odometer is broken. If the odometer shows 125K and there are several reports putting it beyond that, I'd suspect a stealership who put in a call to their buddy Speedometer Sam.

A car seller being less than accurate? I call foul on you sir for besmirching someone's fine honour!

This is why I have given up on buying a car now, and just rebuilding mine, f%$#@ this sh$# with these lying aholes. I prefer the 2003 6MT anyways.
