Parked behind the fence was a blue e39. Went over to look around and admire and got him to get the keys. It's a 2002 UK brought in by Naza. So far 1 owner only.He kept saying condition very good and mileage is only 80K+ KM. Based on the looks of the interior, exterior and engine, i could safely say it certainly looked like a low miler and well maintained. Door closing felt close to new. Interior paneling and leather seats looked new and not aged. I told him to crank the engine up and it idled ever so quietly. But when i looked at the instrument cluster mileage (50K+ miles) and next to it, it showed the "sign" of tempered mileage!!! Told him the mileage has been tempered. He said that he got the car as it is with such conditions and he's argument is that the condition of the car speaks for its "low mileage". I just thought to myself, the original mileage on the car wouldn't have been that high to begin with for it to have such good conditions all over it though someone along the way meddled it to make it look even lower.</blockquote>
