What left me doubting was that the Carfax only went back to 900,000 miles. Thats very odd imo. Where the dealer prep at 20 miles? No more service for 900k? .... right. Why are there listings for after 900k then?

There are ways to advance an odometer. You know what they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Either the engine/tranny has been replaced a few times, the ODO has been "adjusted", or some digital enhancement has occured. I don't believe a 940k mile engine of any make doesn't even burn oil. Come on.

Why would someone who traveled from Miami to Seattle for work DRIVE, especially if it was a personal car? Why wouldn't you fly? It would take DAYS to go from FL to WA, so his business must not be that important if whatever he travels for can wait several days for him to get there. :?
I don't see why someone would try to sell a car with 930,000 miles if it didn't really have that many miles though. Unless he/she thinks someone will trust it more because of it. But a car with 930,000 miles in any condition isn't worth $2300 IMO.

I drove to RI for work last month and got reimbursed $80 (.48¢ a mile). It was definitely more than the gas it cost me.
While I don't know what kind of business he does, if this guy worked for any 'normal' company and not himself, there'* no way they'd let him drive his personal car when taking plane flights would save the company enormous amounts of time and money over reimbursing him for miles.
