stevie_b Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 45,000 miles already on a 2005 model? If it's genuine, the previous owner puts some SERIOUS miles in!! Also, I thought they stopped making mkiv's in 1998, or am I having a moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually seen a few like this, the trader puts the year of import in to make it seem newer, as opposed to the year of manufacture.

Supragal Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 that often comes up like that that on auto trader adds for some reason, think it's the format they have to input it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 The way autotrader works when you register a car, it looks at the registration date and puts that in...so a car that was imported and registered in the UK in 2005 will come up as a 2005 car. However you can then phone Autotrader up and get them to amend it to the year of manufacture. But that a) takes more common sense than most advertisers seem to be blessed with and b) would involve some honesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Lol if you look at the picture closely its an M plate so its most likely a late 94 or early 95, think its just a type error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
