So, the question is, did the seller know this? If so, anyone should stay clear
of this car dealer. This has been a problem in Europe, where many high mileage
MBs and BMWs have been set back some 100 000 kms, to make it more attractive for
any unsuspecting buyer.


Of course, a well maintained car with a service book should show the mileage
accurately.
