Was in Vacavaille at the time (4 mos ago). I walked away - if this is the same car, someone rolled the odo up to the same mileage that the PREVIOUS owner got when they bought the car in 1999 to stay true to the last reported Carfax records. Mathematically, it should have around 220k.

Tell the seller this car is a sham. Look elsewhere - you'll be glad you did.
