CA C2S title with no mileage. Will the DMV reissue one?
I recently bought a 1997 C2S from out of state. It is a low mileage example, 18K, and I paid a premium for it. The CA DMV sent me my title and there is no mileage on it. I would really like to maintain the public record of the low mileage as I believe it adds to the cars value. Is there any way I can get the DMV to reissue a title with the mileage stated?
Thanks

944/951guy is correct. CA DMV doesn't list the mileage of cars over ten years old. However, when I bought my turbo and brought it in from Texas, California DMV did list the mileage on the title. I am guessing it is whoever is entering it in the system. If you have a AAA membership go there and ask for a new title with the mileage on it. They may do it for you; DMV definitely won't. If it helps any, Carfax should pick up the mileage when you smog the car for the transfer. Good luck.

So, I called first to confirm that even though my car was 10+ years old, they could add the mileage to the tile. I had made an appointment weeks ago. I showed up and filled out a form. My new title, with mileage, should arrive in 2 to 4 weeks. No charge. I was out the door in 15 minutes. This story has a happy ending.

Oh, hey Chuck!! You available this weekend? My buddy, (the guy that started this thread) and I are going for a drive through the hills Saturday morning. He's driving his C2s down from NorCal to stay with us. Let me know if you're around...He would love to see your turbo...
