Verifying km's
I'm looking at an FTO this evening, it's a 94 GPX with 87000km's, being sold by first owner in oz who's owned the car for 18 months. There's no service history for the car from Japan, so is there anyway I can verify the km's??

Not that I know of. I just bought a Dec 94 GPX with 59,000 on the clock. The import papers from a year ago back this figure up.
It's _highly_ unlikely that it's a true indication of k's especially given what I know of the body work under the new paint job that's been done (nothing bad, just that work has been done).
Given it's excellent mechanical state though and from discussions with the bloke at Nihon on the Gold Coast, he reckons it's probably in the order of 80,000 - 90,000 on the clock.

you can't verify the km's on a FTO and always make sure a mechanical inspection is performed on the car

I have to admit though that airbornespanner's car is looking more and more tempting... pity its in Sydney making viewing it a bit tricky from melbourne....
will be getting a stateroads inspection done on any car I get close to (already had one inspected that I walked away from as a result)
