Re: "Original Miles"
....above and beyond original miles is the "one owner" statements. I
know there is the one benefit of the person actually knowing any and
all maintenance that has been done....but really I personally don't
add much value to a car because it has had "one owner".....you could
have two cars, both 10 years old. One has been beat to hell by the
same guy who figured iot was paid off at the 5 year mark and wasn't
gonna sink any more into it....just seeing how long he could get out
of it. And the otehr could have been owned by a series of caring
owners who faithfully maintained it. =-) I *will* do a thourough
evaluation of a vehicle before purchase, and decide value based wholly
on its own merits...I generally disregard everything the seller says
as suspect =-)

Re: "Original Miles"
So what? If you can't determine the condition of the vehicle, than
you have no business buying it.

Re: "Original Miles"
I'm not really worried about me Bill. I do my homework and know things to
look for. I guess it just bothers me when I see an obvious
mis-representation. I feel bad when someone buys it, and believes it, let
alone pays a little extra for it. I guess "a fool and his money" huh?
I saw an ad for an "Original Renegade I with 50,000 original miles" last
year at a car lot, and neither of those statements ended up being true. I
was just mad that I wasted my afternoon to drive out to look at it.
