Ad says that the tires are new, so that won't tell us anything.
I'm leaning towards believing the reading is legit. Who would someone buy a $35k car (which it had to be at a few years old and 30k miles) and then roll back the odometer to save a few bucks? Add in that there are no service records on the Carfax during the time, and it seems far-fetched that someone with that much money went through all that trouble, especially considering he just traded the thing in anyway.
Anyway, I'll be looking at it soon, so if anyone knows how I can tell if the cluster has been messed with, please let me know.

No, I didn't try that.
Doesn't matter now, though. Someone from Florida bought it out from under me today, about an hour before I was going to put my deposit down. So if one of you is that guy, or know that guy...I hate you.
Just kidding...congrats, it's a beautiful car.
