The mileage is correct as reflashing does not alter the odometer, but the insurance company does not know that. That is what caused the branded/salvage title. The mileage is correct. I know this becuase the slavage title didnt appear until after I pruchased the vehicle, so I had my attorney look into the matter to see if there was any thing I could file against the dealer who I bought it from. We have a case, but as it will take many months in federal court, and I am not intersted in gouging the dealer for extra money, I have decided to sell it on the private market.
I have had the vehicle since it had 3060 miles on the clock and it is mechanically fantastic. The only issue I have had in over 30,000 miles had to due with the accesory belt. It, and a mount for the belt, were replaced at about 16,000 miles if I remember correctly.
Let me know if you have more questions as I will elaborate as needed.
Also, if there are any specific pictures or information you would like, let me know and I will take them or get you that information.
