    Just a type, shaving only 1000 miles off a car would be pointless.

    Whilst looking for new wheels for other half, spotted this curiosity:

    Apparently this Volvo C30 has managed the amazing feat of reducing the mileage its covered by 1000+ miles over the c. 250 days since carzone.ie appearances.

    Neat trick that.

    1st time out as a private sale 3 previous owner advert:

    http://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/volvo/c30/used-2010-volvo-c30-2-0-d-r-desig-louth-fpa-9156094615565724724

    2nd time round the block, as a 3 previous owner dealer sale advert:

    http://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/volvo/c30/used-2010-volvo-c30-2-0-d-r-desig-dublin-fpa-4206394218655749250

    I'm sure there's an innocent explanation. Clumsy fingers entering wrong mileage on the advert or somesuch...

    Sure would. Although shaving 1000 miles plus 250 days other mileage might not be.

    I won't be spending my money to find out. Not without asking some blunt questions first anyway.

    Is all.

    Also dropped €1,590 on the price.

    Indeed it did. And ordinarily you'd expect as much for a motor which is the guts of 8/9 months older than when listed previously. But it's a moot point if the mileage cannot be trusted. And the mileages per both adverts raise a concern.

    Anyway. Caveat emptor and all that. My post was to hopefully prompt a potential buyer to dig.

    Unless somebody who viewed the car 9 months ago goes and views the mileage on it now to verify then all we can speculate is that the mileage in the ad is a typo.
