Think about it -
as a DD 10-15k per year is the national average range, so 10k/yr x 38 yrs = 380k ... so this is just about dead on! I put about 130k on mine as a DD 12/75 - 5/85 & my only car for most of that time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) The trouble with 5 digit odometers is that they invite liars, and the trouble with old school cable speedometers/odometers that can easily be reset or run backwards is that they invite cheaters! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Our 914's qualify as both! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) IMHO - don't believe anything under 10k per year (or more) unless there is a clear & unbroken chain of service/maint./etc. documents clearly showing the progression of mileage to the claimed current level - period. Otherwise assume that there is at least a "1" or "2" in front of a claimed <100k miles - if not more! One last thought - a constantly used & continuously maintained vehicle will generally be in far better mechanical shape, than one that has sat unused as a barn find, or with very limited use as a garage queen. Same is true for any mechanical device/machinery. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) You've got to give credit to the current owner for actually using & enjoyning her 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) This could be a really great 914 - pending a PPI, test drive & check-out by a knowledgeable 914 mechanic. |
