    Title question E38 Sport

    Hoping someone in Indiana can help me understand if this is a clean title and it will transfer to Illinois no problem

    Carfax came up with Branded title due to mileage issue. But looking at the history the mileage seems to tie perfectly, also there is no Dot on the display. The only think I can think of is that when the engine was replaced the mechanic reported some different mileage then what was on the ODO. But the ODO matches what this car should be 181k btw it's high but the car is pretty mint.

    Here is a picture of the title, it states normal, but under Odometer/Brand is has excempt.

    I just want to make sure that when I go to IL that the title will be clear, I plan on reporting the ODO to IL.

    This is pretty standard in all states. If the car is over 10 years old, they figure it's too old to be able to verify the mileage is correct, even if you can prove so. Friend of mine who works at the MO DMV says the Feds are going to change it to 20 years, since cars are staying on the road longer, but it's not retroactive. So autos from 2011 forward will have to show actual mileage until 2031, then the 20 year window goes year to year after that.
