Imported Skyline Odometer Readings

[johnnydibo]

Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum but would like to try and get some answers please. I've been looking around at several dealers to buy a 2008 Skyline 370GT or later and whilst the pricing varies (give or take $5K) all the vehicles I've looked at generally have mileage under 10K. Now call me old fashioned, but this makes me very suspicious that the odometer has been wound back either in Japan or here, particularly since they are all 2007 or 2008 models. Is there any other logical reason as to why the mileage is so low or is my suspicion correct? Any help would be appreciated, as I don't want to end up with a car that has had 100K wound off the odometer.

japanese and australian lifestyles are completely different. aussies more than likely drive to work every day.

japanese dont. id say 98% will ride a pushbike/scooter, walk or catch the train and bus.

because of this alot of people buy cars just to have one. often they dont have time to use them.

i just bought a 2007 fairlady z 2 months ago with 19000kms.

its definitely not sus.

happy shopping

Hey im also thinking about getting a Skyline r 34 1998 model the guy says its only done 60000 k's on it and i find it hard to believe that over 12-13 years its done so less. But if what adam 87 said was correct then thats awesome. What other info did u get from the Skyline V's forum , i was searching but couldn't find it. :S

i can pretty well guarantee you thatll be the case
