It is very possible.  The ultra low miles vehicle isn't just a myth.  I got my '81 Westy from
my sister.  She got it in '86 from the original owner (with 70k miles on the clock) and added
only a bit over 7k miles from then until I bought it in '96.  If she had bought it new it would
have had about 15,000 mules on it.


Also, 4 years ago I bought a Ford conversion van from a friend who had owned it since new, so I
knew the history.  It is an '85, and had 32,000 miles on it when I bought it in '98.  It is all
the way up to 40,000 now.
