Genuine miles or not??
« on: 15 August 2007, 10:57:21 »
I'm having a very lazy morning as I overdone things in the garden yesterday and feeling the result now.....

Found this tastefully modified Omega while browsing.  The one thing that jumped out at me was the sellers insistance that the miles are genuine.  Somehow, I think not......

Caveat Emptor, if anyone here is bidding....   ;)

It has rotary dials  :-?

I agree Bruce, that would have been decomissioned years ago, even if it was a "special" car and it had low miles through its working life, its been in civvy guise long enough to clock up miles....

Mind you both you and I have cars not a million miles from that sort of mileage... :-/ albeit civillian from day 1.

Yep. Elite with an MV6 badge, no climate, GLS seats, non adjustable steering and ex-plod. What a gem!

If the miles ARE genuine, then I would be seriously looking for early and substantial crash damage.

70 odd K miles, round my way, means the car is about 12 to 18 months old and I know that other Forces have substantially higher miles than that.

Cars are not usually sold on until they have circa 120k plus miles or 3 years old, whichevers first.....

Nope, not for me   :-X

humm hard to tell, looking at the usual suspects (gear stick, seat, steering wheel) they all look in good condition, no ovious wear....

so could well be!

Did plod use many auto's? :-/ I find the mileage  highly unlikely to be genuine especially if you take into consideration it's had SEVEN owners :o
