AE86 for sale with incorrect mileage

[Mux213]

Illegal or not, its part of the car business, and there are people out there who will get a bit of extra money by doing this. Normally it goes unnoticed and people part with more money then they should. Whether it means they make a bad sell all depends on the quality of the car. With Hachiroku's I would actually be suspicion of such low mileage, even if its not been tempered with, that means the car has been standing still most of its life and probably needs some engine work. I vividly remember how one of my mates bought a DeLorean with 60k on the odo and had to pull the engine apart because it had been standing still for +10 years and that hadn't done it much good.

The other interesting problem with our community is that cars are either directly or indirectly known by members of our forum. Anybody seriously interested in buying a hachiroku probably starts his search on this forum. Especially when interested in buying a car that at one point in time was owned by a member on this site the amount of info about the car known to the public is staggering. Whether it be how the car was restaurated, what damage it once had or what mileage it may one day have had. All it takes is a "should I buy this car" topic and you'll learn things about the car the current owner may not even know.

That Heine and Martin voiced their concern about this is normal and I hope members will always step forward but even if they had not a smart buyer would have probably found out and for that anybody trying to add some money to their car in this way, its their April fools day, it leaves buyers wondering what other things are not right with the car and most likely want to drop the price even more instead of pay a premium.

All that said, I'm sure Didierae will eventual sell the car to a very happy owner indeed, from what i've seen the car is a good car even with turned back odo. Whether someone will be willing to part with 8k is a different story but that is a challenge for Didierae.
