    I've acknowledged that already, the article is from the Irish times.
    and being in the repair side of the car industry I see it all the time, It's as widespread as its always been.

    How did Cartell verify the mileage of 120000 imports?

    OK, so you have inside experience in this field: what about that specific car is telling you its been clocked?

    Its only March but that has to be find of the year :pac:

    I'd love to get a closer look at how they grafted that grille on

    I've seen this in the flesh, took a pic and whacked it up on boards years ago. It's every bit as horrendous in real life.

    I’m guessing they compiled all of the history checks done by customers on uk imports

    An import that's done 1500k per year with four owners? sounds legit.:rolleyes:

    The car looks immaculate, probably a second car in a family that got the odd spin, I'd say the mileage is genuine. Pity we don't have an nct checking system like the UK for Naysayers like you.

    Or on the Hoover either. Nothing in that ad would encourage anyone to look at that car. Half an hour giving it a clean out wouldn't have killed him.

    It is a cheap tax diesel with test for tiny money so you can probably forgive that.
    The last line of the ad kinda sums up the seller for me.

    If its a Highline I’d probably start out at around €1,750. Lower spec I’d go a few hundred less

    Thats definitely a plus. The new NCT and recent timing belt/ clutch & flywheel should help too. I sold an 07 Highline a little over a year ago for €1,800 so you should at least get over a grand for yours.

    It's a saying, it's not to diss the car as such.
