barkfeather: I have decided to let this one go. There is a trail about to open in the area and I think it would be a great place for some new caches. Thanks to all who found and favorited.

Geocache Description:

Welcome to Bozo's Used Car Lot!!

At Bozo’s Used Car Lot there are four cars in a row. Each has a different “Guaranteed Mileage” on the odometer. From the clues given, work out the exact mileage shown on each car’s odometer, and find the values for A through T. In no particular order, the cars are an Audi, a Fiat, a Ford, and a Volvo. They are green, red, black, and blue, also not in any order. From left to right the cars are numbered 1 through 4.

Clues…
1. Each of the digits 0 to 9 appears twice, while no car’s mileage contains a repeated digit, and no two digits appear in the same position on two different odometers.
2. Car 2 has done less than 30,000 miles. None of the cars has gone 50,000 miles.
3. The first number on the odometer of car 3 is two lower than the one in the same position on car 1, whose odometer also displays an 8.
4. The blue car, which is next to the Fiat, has the most mileage on its odometer, while the red car’s second digit on the odometer is a 9.
5. The third digit on the display of car 2 is the same as the last digit on the display of car 4.
6. One zero is the third figure on one odometer, and the other zero is in the last position, but not on an adjacent vehicle.
7. The fourth number on the odometer on car 1 is a 4.
8. The last three figures on the odometer of the black Volvo are 735.
9. There is no 7 displayed on the Audi’s odometer, the last digit of which is a 1.
10. The digits 65 appear in that order, consecutively, on one odometer. The digits 98 appear in that order, consecutively, and are in the same relative position on another odometer.

Mileage on each Odometer

Reading from left to right, the numbers in the odometers correspond to letters. Car 1's odometer is (in order) the letters A through E. Car 2's odometer is F through J. Car 3 is K through O, and Car 4 is P through T.
