The official word of the CA DMV 'If it is more than 10 years old, we do not track milage nor care what it is'

The reasons I am familiar with for an odometer zero are

1) The car has just been restored to like new condition, and it is desired that odometer should reflect this

2) zero on powertrain replacement

3) When issued a new VIN what the heck, why not.

The odometer doesn't mean as much as a lort of people think...
A tool for resetting digital odometers on E-bay is only $400, and I've seen the F@rd ones run backwards all on their own! If somone ran nonstanderd rearend or tires for 10 years, that could be 20K miles off, and look perfectly legit on Carfax and state records.
