Hi guys, I have just come across a mr2 with 7k miles from new ,
The car looks good but being such low mileage can it not be a bad thing too

Saw this too, bit odd if you ask me.
Re: Am I seeing things - 7,400 Miles MR2
The condition of the car backs up the mileage. That is seriously low for the car's year. But if it's all backed up with FSH and previous MOT's then all good

didnt all uk cars have leather? and as thats had its PDI done here it must be a UK car, personally i wouldnt believe that mileage, its not hard to fake a service book is it, id want to speak to the garage who claim to have stamped the book
Re: Am I seeing things - 7,400 Miles MR2
Just to add also, one good check is to look at the mileage on the clocks to se if all the digits line up, because if they have been tampered with they won't.
Looks a cracking car though.

Regarding this MR2 for sale, the mileage is ridiculously low for the year of the car but is definitely possible. If someone has had it as a weekend/summer/dry weather car since new etc.
I remember a US Rev1 MR2 on ebay ages ago. It had 8 miles on the clock and he wanted somat like $21K or thereabouts!

New ebay seller as well - is it advertised anywhere else?
I really dont think this will go for a huge amount of money, is the demand for these that high at the moment?
