Strange Carfax Report? Help?😅

[TexasIronMan]

I am attaching a picture of the carfax.

Hello, I am looking at purchasing this 2022 Tesla Model 3. The carfax shows 2 owners. The 2nd half of the car shows, "Dealer took title of this
vehicle while it was in inventory". The first owner drove to 9,670 miles.

This is all under Owner 2: It shows new owner reported (2 owner) on 12/22/2023. On 1/30/2024
at 9,670 miles it was serviced at AutoNation. On 3/21/2024 it shows "Vehicle Purchase Reported"
in Montana. The vehicle where I am purchasing is in Texas. On 3/26/2024, it shows title issued or updated in Montana with 24,012 miles with "Dealer took title of this vehicle while it
was in inventory. Does this not look extremely weird or concerning?
fnot, can someone explain to me please? How such a huge mileage jump 1/30/2024 to 3/26/2024? What's the "Dealer took title of this vehicle while it was in inventory". I am not
purchasing it from AutoNation either.

Used it for Über, maybe? Makes no other sense.

I'm very confused about it myself. That's 14000 miles in 2 months.

Montana is one of the states that is used for title washing:

Title washing' is a common vehicle selling scam that people should be aware of. Learn what title washing is, its dangers, how it's done, and how to avoid it!

I wouldnt buy that car, and OP your instincts are telling you not to buy it either. Listen to them.

I gotta agree with JJ. If your "Spidey Senses" are tingling, it is a good sign they're doing their job. "Danger Will Robinson"....

Could be someone like me…

I’ve driven 7,150 miles in the past 30 days. Roadtrip!

I would suspect dealership (non-Tesla) lease. Any car dealer including Autonation can acquire and lease a vehicle.
