ODOMETER reading

Hello. This might be a stupid question but can someone tell me what the mileages on the attached screenshot?
I'm wondering if it ha rolled over once, twice, three times?
It is a 1984 Delta 88 that I just inherited from my uncles and it was not driven very much and is in great shape!

Thanks in advance!

What do the foot pedals look like? Those are always good indicators.
9700 miles is not much for an 84 model. Nice of your Uncle.

X2 on the pedals... Also, any signs of interior/carpet wear could indicate higher usage...

Is there an aunt or other family member you can inquire the history with? A possible paperwork trail that you can follow? It is a nice car.

Hi again. Here are some more pics. I know all the history, as it was purchased new by my old neighbour for him and his wife as they wanted a higher end car at the time for his retirement, but his wife passed away a month later and he did not drive the car much after that.
My uncles then bought it and drove it o weekends and then their sister (my aunt in Maine) had it for a few years before they took it back and stored it.

Regards
Stephen

According to the picture of the pedals pads, looks highly possible that it is a car with much less than 100 K miles on it. Also the carpet on the drivers side has very little wear showing, and older drivers tend to drag there feet on that area,because lifting (our ) feet gets more difficult with age progression. Voice of experience speaking,I purchased a Corvette when I was 60, and needless to say, I sold it as soon as I was offered a decent profit. Larry

9747 would be an incredibly low figure for miles, let alone kilometers. Still, it sure does look fresh.

I'm stumped!

I am stumped also! My one uncle had a stroke two years ago and his twin brother had a fall just a couple days ago and is in the hospital. When they are both feeling better I am going to give them a call and find out a bit more information. The driver seat seems to have a bit aware so I am still thinking it could be over 100,000 km. I wish Oldsmobile would've had one more digit on the odometer!
Even the engine compartment looks very fresh.

As mentioned a service record or "stickers" on the car would help some. The engine compartment seems clean for over 100K miles unless cleaning had been performed.

The car has what appear to be original factory radiator hoses and hose clamps. Keep in mind, however, that 109,000 km is only 68,000 miles.

That may be 9747 miles. Are all of the belts, hoses, clamps, plug wires, air filter, brakes etc. original? Look at the rear brake drums, are there stamped metal retaining clips holding the brake drums in place?

It's a Canadian speedo with KM, not miles.

Yes it is a Canadian car. And I do believe it has a new radiator.
So I am thinking it may be 109000 km?

Most likely. As Joe points out, that's still a pretty low figure.
