I read it that a new (reconditioned) engine was fitted that was showing 89k miles. I can't help but think the line "it owes me a fortune" is not the best line in an advert.
What the ad says:"A RECON ENGINE SHOWING 89000 MILES FITTED ALL DOCUMENTED IN THE SERVICE HISTORY THE GEARBOX WAS SERVICED WITH NEW OIL FILTERS CAMBELTS WERE CHANGED I ALSO HAVE RECIEPTS FOR ENGINE AND WORK DONE COSTING £4300 IN MAY LAST YEAR."
Who on earth knows what this might mean!

In May last year a reconditioned engine was fitted. The replacement engine had covered 89k, this was verified by service history that accompanied the replacement.
Whilst the replacement engine was being fitted I took the opportunity to service the gearbox and change the cambelt. The total bill for this work was £4300, with receipts to prove.

Even the A/T database has it 2 grand above market. A hairdresser will buy it - and trim the clock.

55000 miles a year in a diesel 208. Hardcore!No interior photos, but the bodywork looks decent for the mileage.

That entire advert is bunk."BEST RED COLOUR" Wrong.
"BODY IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION...DOES HAVE MINOR SCRACTS AGE RELATED" Front looks like its been pelted with frozen sausages and then sandblasted.
"BOTH ENGINE&GEAR BOX ARE SMOOTH AND EXTREMELY POWERFULL" I can't argue with that, must be down to the colour.
"DESCRIPTION MAY VARY" ...I am filled with shame and remorse.

Pair of 200k Toledos
2014s, so about 40k a year each, not bad going!
Edit: even more, 206k on a 2016!

Only about 35 of these Toledos on ebay (didn't realise they did another generation) and a lot of them seem to be on moon miles.
