The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I reckon that if the dealer used the milage calculator in the back of glass's guide then they would be paying someone to drive it away :D :D ;D

When it says "not recorded" and seems to be from a scrapyard seller, are they saing it is accident damaged ?

Or, as I read it is someone suggesting the vehicle gets "clocked"

Or am I just having one of those days.

Shame about that TB, mind you my dads old Corsa was warned about rust, that survived for another 4 years.

Common thing in the trade, they put that hinting that it could be clocked. How ever they'd clock a 7 series I don't know though, they have about 4 or 5 different memories.
