I am flirting with the possibility of selling my car. I have had it for about a year, 2004 6-Speed ZHP Vert now with 80k. I bought the car for a good deal, but with some known title contingents, which I never bothered trying to fix.
The previous owner went to the DMV for a title transfer as the listed owner was her deceased husband. Out of convenience she estimated the mileage and then went to have the car smoged a few days later.
Here what happened:
9/1/2011 Mileage 68,000 ---- Title Issued*
9/5/2011 Mileage 67,200 ---- SMOG*
*I do not have the carfax in front of me so this is from memory. CA DMV.
Hence the title came back as Not Actual Mileage. I bought the car as stated with a not actual mileage title and registered the car as not actual mileage, due to convenience. At the time I was not concerned in the slightest about resale.
I don't need to sell the car, just toying with the idea. How do you think this issue will impact resale? Should I try and contact the DMV, although it happened a year ago?
