Default CARFAX Question!!

Hello,
I found another car that could be really good I think. It's on eBay and seems like a real nice, clean car for a great deal. I ran a CARFAX check using the VIN # in the ad and it said that there was an alert for odometer not being actual mileage or something like that.
Here is the link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-...QQcmdZViewItem
Here is what it says:
I'm not sure what to think.

06/24/2005 114,216 Auto Auction Sold at auction in Pennsylvania Listed as a dealer vehicle
Purchased: 2005 Where: Pennsylvania Est. miles/year: --- Est. length owned: 12/23/05 - present
(1 yr. 10 mo.) Date: Mileage: Source: Comments: 12/23/2005 114,216 Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Dept. Cochranton, PA New owner reported NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE TITLE ISSUED CARFAX Advisor™ A NAM title is issued when the owner discloses to a DMV mileage fraud, a broken odometer or that the actual mileage of this vehicle is unknown. Mileage reported after this reading is potentially unreliable.

Alot of unknowns. Did it sit all that time? Past owner disconnect the odom? Just a broken cable? Someone fudge with it? Armed with the Carfax report, You could offer less. That may take the sting out of the unknowns.

Agree with Eric. Get the report, drive the car, have it checked out and then make your offer.

I think there is a way to pull the actual mileage from the computer, but not positive if you can on the 96. I know you can on the 95.
