Thread: Apparently not so Mint 32,000 mile NX on ebay!

The moment I saw that it was is Indianapolis for 15 years, I went ewwwwww.

^

and looks like it was enjoyed at autocross or track too with that low mileage.. good for the owner!

Oh there is proper ways to do it. And the only way would be to have every single service record for the vehicle that the mileage is documented each date it went in for oil changes or any maintenance. To me thats the only way.

Its hard for people to realize but it doesnt take much to put 30k miles on a car in 17 years.

My great grandma had a 94 Chevrolet 1500 pickup that she literally drove about 2k miles a year. Matter fact one day i saw that her oil change sticker was a year an a half old and the mileage for the next return was still a thousand miles away. I asked her if she gets her oil changed only every 3k miles. She said yep....Ouch....I told her that oil breaks down over time not just use.

But she didnt buy it new and when she traded it in at the beginning of this year it only had 63k original miles on it. All documented.

Another good example is my buddies grandfather has a 1990 mercury (huge boat of a car) that has 67k original miles. He has the documents and paperwork since new with all oil changes and services, tires, and more including the original window sticker that truely documents all the mileage. To me thats the only way to be sure.

Someone that takes care of their car and wants to preserve the mileage will keep track of stuff like this. If they dont something is definitely up.

Like the guy selling that nx. If he cant provide all the service documents and recipts then he is lying about the mileage. Anyone ive seen that drives that little or takes that much care in keeping their car low mileage keeps track of service and recipts.

^^^True.
I can't wait to see some newb to the forums posting about the lomileage NX they just got off ebay...LOL

Like I said the white NX2000 I got was mint. Looks jus as good as the red one. People who came by my house and saw it though it was new.

what you do need to keep in mind is that some people trust no-one but them selves to service a car (as is the case with my 2002 boxster s) BUT I do have the 'smog' testing every 2 years where mileage is clearly documented!!!!


I actually had a total fit one of my visits to a local IL test facility who entered my mileage as 99,998 instead of 9,998 (the actual mileage) so I had to go into the main office and WAIT for them to do the proper update that same hour and I can only hope both didn't show up (then again I had a 2001 Truck where they made a title transfer mistake putting it down at 172547 miles instead of the actual 72547 miles when we purchased our current Diesel truck from AZ a few years ago (had to get 'corrected title' on that one too!)

Sometimes I hate the DMV or smog testing or even 'dealerships' for typos on odometer but I guess we are all human!

lol i can just picture dre shaking his head at this dude like what a joke.

This is ever so common. Its mostly from the "do it youselfers"

1)Buy a car from someone who's never took it to a shop and always done there own work.
2) Either roll back the gauge cluster or buy a low milage one. On a older car its effortless to roll back miles.
3) Remove all the interior of the car. Look for any rust and sand it all away.
4) Tape off everything on the outside of the car not ment to be painted.
5) Paint interior/ exterior of car with oem paint and do a good job with your finsh.
6) Put it all back together.
7) Take the car to a shop and get an oil change with your super rolled down miles.

You now have a very crisp looking car with some recent paper work with miles.
Also if you're real deal pro scammer you can pull the engine and redo the bay and what not clear everything up and replace broken things with shinny oem parts.

no no, you misunderstand me...That's my rule of thumb, if you are actually considering buying a low-mileage car.

They exist, but as far as I'm concerned, they don't. And then I won't be tempted to get burned. Heck I don't even trust a car if it looks especially nice.

Driving a car always tells me everything I need to know (in addition to inspecting the mechanicals).
