Re: Vin history - Doesn't make sense!

"Exceeds Mechanical Limits - When the seller certifies, under the Truth in
Mileage Act, that the odometer reading EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS of the
odometer, usually 99,999 miles."

That would not make sense. My 88 Dakota has a 6 digit odometer. If this
were correct, it would imply that truck has over a million miles on it.
