Run a CarFax report. It will show the recorded mileages and send a warning if something looks suspicious,

Only way you can reset it is to have a new CCM put in the car. You are supposed to burn it with the correctt mile and VAT data.

Right, and you only have the first 100 miles in which you can do it without getting locked out. I don't know why some mechanics who clearly don't have the Tech 1 and properly programmed mass storage cart would do the CCM replacement when they can't finish the job, but this isn't the first time I've heard of one doing just that.

I hate to see you pass on a good car, but this one smells

One day the story is that it got a new computer, the next day it sat in a garage for 4 months.......what will it be for the next buyer?

There are a ton of guys on this forum that can spot a rat even through the interweb. Let them help you. they sure have helped me

WOW, the car sat for 4 months and the odometer reset itself. I wouldn't walk away from that one, I'd run like hell. Bullsh!t lies like that and what else is he lying about?
Side note, I just went out into the garage and my 90's odometer has reset itself to zero over the winter since it has been sitting since October.
