It looks a little fishy to me to be honest with you. That's a HUGE jump in miles. How much are they asking for it? I'm not sure if these instrument clusters have thier own control unit built in that stores the milage but if so then my guess is that the instrument cluster was replaced with a lower milage one. Cany anyone answer this question for us?

Ok well I researched the instrument cluster and it looks like it stores the odometer reading in it which means that somebody either installed a used instrument cluster from an identical vehicle with lower miles OR had a dealer install a new one and the tech "forgot" to insert the correct milage into the new cluster. If you want you can read up on it at the link below.
