I've got 235's.

I will be trying the mile-marker test later today, but I have a
feeling that someone transposed numbers when they recorded the milage.
They wrote down 269,xxx but it must have been 296,xxx (and I don't
remember the exact milage, but this makes sense), which would mean
that I have only put 5000 or so miles on it since last October.

I need to see if the DMV will tell me what the milage was when the
title went from the previous owner to the used car lot...
