Odometer spun?

Great site everyone. I'm looking at a '90 Maxima with very low kms. Is there any way to tell if the odometer has been spun back? Thanks

The first number, most likely a zero, would have a vertical line on it. Looks like a scratch going from top to bottom.

Yeah but why waste money on carfax when it's out of date 90% of the time.

Too bad most ppl dont know about this, either that or just lack of common sense. Edmunds will also give info on the cars history. I found a truck that was rolled back over 150k miles from carfax, what a nice find indeed
