?Original miles? Options

[slim72914]

I bought the car and the guy says it has been sitting since 86. Says it was in his family for " a long time" before that. He also said that the odometer is original miles. anyway to tell if it has been rolled over??

wow - if that is really only 9K you are the luckiest guy going!

As above have a look at the rest of the car. The difference between 9K and 109K should be pretty obvious. Wear on the pedals is usually a good indicator. Of course they can be replaced but a worn one would set you thinking 109. The seats wear like iron so they aren't always a good indicator. Don't know where else to get a quick feel. Maybe the shocks? Mine are still original (98K) but really show their miles - leaking. Maybe the tires? I wonder what OE would have been. 9K over 12 years would not have worn out the tires but they would have been starting to crack and such.

The problem of trying to look at wear is it was parked outside in AZ since 86.... the summer sun is quite brutal on interior with untinted windows and paint. The inside of both front and rear trunks look almost brand new. The rubber pad on the gas pedal looks extremely good. No wear at all. the other 2 have light surface rust and no pad at all. What were the stock tires?

If the idea of a digit sitting lower than the rest is true it looks like the 3rd digit is lower. rolled over 3 times???? 309906 miles? from 72-86? I guess it is possible...
