It will show the mileage of the donor car. In order to have the correct mileage shown you will have to take it to the dealership to have it reset. (too expensive) or you can take it in to a shop and have them place some type of sticker stating that the correct mileage at the time of the swap.

You could also look for a shop that has the Star Diagnose or aftermarket equivalent computer. The gear has been out for a while and non-dealer shops are out there with it.
