Looking to sell anytime soon?
I have a habit of keeping some cars indefinitely. This is one of them. Used purely as a leisurely cruiser, I trailer it down to Arizona every winter for my wife to use in the cool of the evenings. The car is as new. I think I will probably have a post on its 20th birthday when it has about 30,000 rain-free miles. It is a very pleasant, relaxing, refined old thing without any pretensions of being a hard-edged sporting device.GVK said:

No, if it was clocked there'd be big scratches above the mileometer where they've forcibly removed the instrument binnacle.
Not necessarily , mileage can be correct via OBD port given the right software tools!B'stard Child said:

I asked him if he'd leave it to me in his will. He told me to pi ss off, stating that I'd only drive it.
What would it matter? You'd be dead!
He didn't appreciate that!
