i used to think that the condition/wear of the interior/exterior items would be a sure indication of the 'true' age of the vehicle. I remember when shopping around for a 180SX a year ago....saw one on sale for around 40-ish Kms on the odo....but the interior and engine bay condition was just shocking....dusty, faded interior panels...worn pads...etc etc...
Now with my 96 S2, it came with 36ks on the odo, immediately i thought "yeah right"....but i was amazed at the condition of the interior as well as the engine compartment....then again parts could've been replaced etc etc....so i didn't really care....besides it went really well...
Took it to 2 seperate workshops to get some servicing done and mods....and both(without me asking) commented on the immaculate condition of the under-carraige and the 'as-new' condition of the stock parts....so i dunno what to think now....
either way i'm getting one of them 'Super-Strong' timing belts done soon just to be sure.....
