The odd thing about mine is it says it was in the country for about 3 months before i brought it, when i brought it the day after it was on the yard, and it hadn't done any k's.

Is it normal for them to sit that long?

Thanks, that site is awesome. I checked one of my old cars that I had huge troubles selling and it was a really dodgy deal and the guy was a moron and now the car wont get a warrant, that makes me feel happy.

Edit: Oh and my old Cordia has died, I loved that car so much. :cry:

^^Mine too apparently, by just 78,000 kilometres :lol:

Heres my old skyline though http://www.carfax.co.nz/car/?plate=sy9215&search=CarFax+Search

I like how it says 6.84 kilometres a day travelled at one point. It was more like 120kms a day but the odometer was unplugged for many months because the old owner was cheating RUC and I was too lazy to reconnect it
