I'm buying a used car from a guy. His pics show the odometer to be at 9000 miles. The Carfax report says the mileage is 14, 327. Something is not right. This guy says that Carfax does not know his mileage but is estimating based on his lease agreement of 12,000 miles per year. Does this sound right?
