Depends on your definition of "good doors" - my doors are good - they work ie they open & close ok  :)

Asked the buyer to confirm the mileage as 1700 miles.

That'll need a bit more than a lick of isopon and paint to put right  :-?

Dear jamesjaffery08,

You sure about the mileage? 1700 miles?

Must be right then  :-?

Or - are there some 0s missing?
Or - is that the trip mileage?

Dear jamesjaffery08,

17000 is a bit different to the 1700 on your listing and your original response that 1700 was correct. Still only 2125 miles a year or 40 miles a week - you sure its not 170000 (21000/annum or 408 miles a week)?

When I look at car ads if they cant even be bothered to spell properly I assume they cant be arsed to look after their cars either.

May be dyslexic, may just be thick, either way it shouldn't discourage you from at least looking a vehicle over... :y

Not sure it looks like 17000 either, nor the bodywork, but the interiors seems to look like it might be that sort of mileage..... :-/ :-/
