It says my donor XJ is pretty damn clean except for the accident right before I bought it. My LJ's history is fairly boring and matches the mountain of paperwork showing every little transfer between owners.

 

I love it when dealerships leave their all access reports accidentally open to the public.

Apparently my 1998 XJ with 202,000 miles has 366,000? and has been in a accident? something doesnt seem right.

 

Edit: Well that explains the tiny dent in the hatch but not the milage. Thanks for the link though man.

 

 

 

Edit 2: And my 89 XJ donor

Notice how the last five digits are exactly the same as the previous reported mileage. Also, it was recorded on a renewal and not a title transfer. It is likely a data entry error.

Thanks for the link.  Had to try it twice to get a report.  Probably operator error.

 

It's interesting that the history on my '88 starts in 1995 with a "Registration Event/Renewal" in Lebanon, KY (with no mileage recorded) and stays in KY until I brought it to AL in 2012.  According to the original owner's manual in the glove box, it was sold new in Thornton, CO.  So, there are seven lost years in the truck's history.  I'm curious haow it got from Co to KY.

 

Based on the two recorded mileage events, it appears that it has the original cluster in it and the actual mileage is under 200K.  The speedo cable was missing when I bought it and the odometer shows around 196K.  The last recorded mileage was 190,344 in early 2011and it hasn't had any significant miles on it since I bought it in early 2012 and started the rebuild.  I'm planning on swapping clusters to one with a tach and may try swapping speedos in the clusters to retain the original odometer reading (it won't be entirely correct but wil be more accurate than the 240K plus on the donor cluster).
