For many it does. When an odometer is replaced there shall be a sticker
indicating the date and mileage at the time of replacement.  Regardless of
repairs performed mileage can have an impact on the condition of a chassis
and there are still many parts that may have not been replaced. Some look
for low mileage as a benefit. Some also look for high mileage as an
accomplishment.

Does mileage really matter on a 25 year old vehicle??

  In both my vans - the speedos were replaced some years back, so I have no
real mileage to report when someone asks - only what's on the current
speedometer.

The mileage issue seems to spook my potential buyers. They ain't buying a
modern car!!
