Something very strange
Hello everyone
Well something strange happen to me today i was looking through a Ad paper for an E320 w210 and i saw a 96 for 10000. I called the seller and he sounded like someone that i had talked to already in fact he was selling the same car almost two months ago,but something was strange when i spoke with him two months ago he said the car had 139,000 on it and today he said that it only had 110,00 on it could some one change the milage and if so how. Also how could i tell if the millege has been tampered with. Thanks

If it doesnt sound right- walk/run away!...there are tons of W210s out there, some may be a bit pricey than others but is in better condition.

You don't need this.
The cheapest part of this car will be the initial purchase.

I Have A Contact At A Local Tuning Shop... And They Say It's Simply Plugging In A Modified Computer To The ECU And Can Change The Odo To What Ever You Want...
There Could Also Be Issues Of A Car Having A Blown Engine And Changing To A Different Engine... Best To Check The Numbers Correspond To The Same Car...
