LOW KM. FTO's for sale

Post by dj_ules »

hey just a bit of gibberish .. thought id start a debate or something.. but recently im finding it very hard to believe to find all these fto's on ebay with low kms

for example
this has to be a load of crap
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1995-Mitsubishi- ... dZViewItem

there is no way in hell there would be a 13yr old car. with such low kms.
it must have at least 100.xxx kms clocked back on it . even guys in aus selling their cars, with such low kms , avg person in aus does 25,000kms a year,
is this for real. or is everybody disconnecting their spedo's

haha we discussed about that FTO before ... some say its legit and the jap owner might of been a collector. Personally i think its fake way too low, something like 40 000k is a lot more believable :lol:

Looks can be deceiving, but a few things indicate it could POSSIBLY be genuine -

the engine bay. mint. they could've cleaned it up real nice, but maybe not.
the stereo. stock. stock stacker in boot.
wheels. stock.
paintwork looks great, though hard to tell without close ups.
interior - no marks on it. steering wheel looks like it's hardly been used.

in fact, this is pretty much a perfect example of how our cars came stock.

so while 1,800km is a pretty unbelievable figure, i reckon it could be true!

Well, to be perfectly honest... that car looks brand new.

No wear on the seats, the gear knob or the steering wheel, even the engine bay is spotless.

Wow, that's nuts. And yea, it looks so clean.. no wear on the seats or anything.

Wonder how they kept it for so long without ever going over 1800kms.
