I bought my car used and prior to picking it up, I ran a check on the car's service history. Recently, I ran a search based on the vin# and came up with an interesting find...MORE MILEAGE! Same work done, same dates, different mileage --- all at the same dealership (where I bought it). Any reason for this? All the documents I signed at the time of purchase reflect the low mileage as does the service history that appears on the invoice when it is in the shop. I even spoke to the previous owner, who confirmed the low mileage. The individual who did the search -- from another f-bod site -- has not been in touch. I tried e-mailing him once, but I think he does not want to be the source of any potential problems so I'm not going to bother him! I don't want to cause any problems or raise a fuss, but I might want to do a little extra digging. The car runs great and has been trouble free (hope I didn't jinx myself!.) Can anyone help me out or provide some advice? Thanks!

Sounds like a fat finger.... they probably just entered the wrong mileage... mistakes do happen....
