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

I think a title never states the mileage for a car over 10 years old.

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.

Are you sure the DMV will not reissue the title with the mileage? I called to complain that there was no mileage on the title and they set up an appointment for me for tomorrow.

No I am not.... good deal. I just have little faith in DMV. I hope they prove me wrong.

Have to echo Chuck, try the AAA first. Nothing good ever comes from the CA DMV.

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.

Good deal. I love it when I am wrong!

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...
