I was wondering if there was a way to get the excact miles on a cargo van.In I.L if the van has over 100,000 on it you check a box and you don't have to write in the miles.If i were in the market for a used van how would i know if they rolled a couple hundred thousand miles off? I thought of carfax running the vin but if it was never wrecked or the person paid cash and did repairs themself,i don't see how you would track it.
Correct miles on a cargo van

It's funny you mention the car fax program as I have bought many cars from the rental companies with minor damage and there car fax report is clean. So when I go to sell the cars I do tell the potential buyer of the damage. The comment is the same because they ran the VIN and it came back clean. Car Fax is a great tool, but you better go with your gut feeling and get the vehicle thouroughly inspected to at least get a more actual codition of the vehicle in question. I wish you luck and if you decide to buy used be very careful. Some states like Florida have a law to protect the purchaser of a damaged vehicle. There must be full disclosure or the dealer can be prosicuted. As always buyer beware. Kinda makes buying new look pretty good, unless you truly know the history of the vehicle to be factual.
In most cases' the seller has to disclose the mileage on the back of the title. If seller is a Dealership they have an odometer statement that by law both seller and buyer has to acknowledge. Of course the danger here are lies… Carfax will show a history of the mileage and will flag any differences in the odometer from one sale to another. By law a dealership has to have the one trading the vehicle in, sign an odometer statement that states the mileage is correct. If unknown the mileage is deemed “beyond” serviceable limits. And in ILL as you stated, this may be the same as over 100.0k in miles. Carfax records the miles from one sale to another, not from when each time the same owner tags it. I know when I stock in a trade, I have to say on the windshield how many miles are on the unit and it has to match, the odometer statement, and the odometer. This history is tracked until we sale the unit. It will increase slightly due to test drives.
