I can't imagine why a dealer would certify the mileage on a car not known to
it.  I assume a Carfax check for dealers is pretty cheap insurance against

    * getting sued for something trivial by the person who buys the car from
      them

    * getting fleeced by an unscrupulous seller

especially for fairly valuable cars (dunno if a 928 qualifies as such
anymore).
