The car is priced like a car with 60,000 miles, thats because it has that many miles. Looks like odmeter issues!!!

Good Luck

Just curious on this one.

Doesn't the computer record the mileage? Wouldn't a scan of the computer reveal the real mileage?

My car had an extra zero added thanks to the Illinois dept of motor vehicles. Of course carfax showed this but in reality it was incorrect. In my case the 2300 miles turned inot 23000. Check the dealer records and talk to the owner. In my case, it was an elderly gentleman who just never drove the car (hence the Arrow rebuild in the end!!!).

that could just be an accidental extra 0 on the end of 6300... i would be more concerned with the repaint to black.. sounds odd to me.. why didnt he just sell it and buy a black 99? why repaint the car to a factory color?

I'd ask Jon B. about this one since it is in his neighborhood. I recall seeing this one run through the VCA clasifieds a while back, it said something about it being repainted as part of the "rebilding process". Can't be 100% certain it is the same car.... but it was black....
