Hi, all. I'm looking at a '01 T/A. I'm new to these cars so I need a bit of guidance.

Carfax shows the latest mileage at 41k, but previous records indicate otherwise so I'm wary of its accuracy.

It was first recorded at 6 miles, then 10, then 17k...bam, 102k two months after recording 17k. WTF? Then it recorded 115k a year later. Nothing till 41k when it was recorded at the current dealership the car is for sale at.

I'm not sure to make of this.

TIA for any advice.

sounds super fishy to me. it may be possible to roll back miles if you change the computer(pcm) i would take it to a pcm specialist (pcmforless is a sponser) great for u that u checked carfax but if it doesnt seem right it most often times isnt. get the car u know is legit especially if you are dumping a lot of money in as a DD. remember good things are worth the wait and Trans ams/camaros are a dime a dozen. patience is the key here

^ Cluster determines the mileage, not the PCM.

The cluster could have been changed for one with different mileage.

Sound advice here! You are right. Thanks. Not too many in my area...most are plain-jane Firebirds with the V6s. And when I see a T/A, they want too much.

Thanks, guys. Sounds easy to do. I'll be more careful now when people claim about mileage.
