'dangle berries' does that have 1 mile on the clock, why would a 2.0 cd spec be used for photos.

I suspect that advert means 100k miles

I think I'd rather have a car with a sensible but low mileage on anyway. If it's got next to zero I'd start to wonder how and where it has been laid up and how many times it has been started cold to shuffle it around.

its the sellers way of avoiding the search filters, their mileages will be ***,000s but that would mean no one will see their car if they only search up to 100k mileages, so they put "134 miles" then clarify the actual mileage in the advert body

same with age, some people like to search for young cars upto 5 years old, and therefore a seller will advertise their 1998 impreza as "2007 S reg" for example

.. do they think I'll buy a car from someone who is out to deceive me from the moment my eye hits their advert?
