16 year old car, with 994 ks on it, What would you pay??

[Adydas]

found this elsewhere, Amazing not every day you see a 16 or so year old car with 994 ks on the clock ( thats nine hundred, Not ninety Nine. )

Question is, Would you pay 55 grand for it?

[trueno_20v]

thats pretty hard to beleive..

[Adydas]

Its legit as, mental.,.

[snwtoy]

What was the new price on these?

Wonder if it's had regular maintenance etc. I'd be thinking something would have seized with it just sitting there.

[Punter]

the way those zeros don't line up screams "wound back"

Dont be an idiot, watch your speedo next time it goes to click around a thosand Ks, it moves a little off base.

Like a clock does half past an hour the hour hand dont 100% point to the hour, it moves partway between

85 grand ( thats aussie ) tho.. Yeah i get the feeling it was drove weekendly to keep things smooth and the ad does state they have a service book so somewhat must have kept an eye on it some way or another.

Hahaha, I guess a test drive is out of the question!

[Boosted_162]

Thats insane, ive done more than that and ive owned my car 3 weeks!! I would buy that if i had the money, in my eyes its a collectable.

I'm pretty sure that was one of the tell tale signs of an odometer being wound back at some stage in its life? All the cars I own (with high k's) are in line perfectly!

Also cars that old scream possibly damaged and taken a while to repair and get back on the road?

[Jazza]

Yeh it is. The numbers should still all line up relatively. When theyre off centre that badly, especially numbers like 3 consequetive 0's all on different angles... it is screaming wound back...

[Adydas]

Intresting.. They are the first owner, its plaqed.. So i belive its legit but that is intresting..

[RomanV]

Bollocks, that's just how the numbers rotate.

It's so close to ticking over to '1000', which is why the others are jacked up.

[AJz]

but shouldnt they tick 'down' rather than up?
(dont flame me, my odo is electronic!)

[sergei]

no they tick up .

[Adydas]

you can actually see the number "1" on its way around the rotation if he drove it what 6 more ks to 1000 and you watched it, youd understand.

Wound back and hes asking 55 grand who do you think hes trying to fool? do you not think somone would inspect it ?

[NA Drifter]

does this mean the car never had a oil change in 16 years?? and mainly just idling time?... super heavy traffic ??
