MattP Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I thought they would have an Electronic Handbrake by 2005 all the Disco 3s had them in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Clocking seems to be extremely common. Look at all the Supras - 20 yrs on they still show up with the magical 60K on the clock..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 For sure but this looks like its been clocked 3 times unless i'm reading it wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 For sure but this looks like its been clocked 3 times unless i'm reading it wrong with cases like this where it is most likely that the car has been clocked - if it is a trade sales, what is their responsibility? can they be fined for selling a car that has been clocked?

Swampy442 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Clocking seems to be extremely common. Look at all the Supras - 20 yrs on they still show up with the magical 60K on the clock..... Finally, someone as cynical as me! Its not illegal to alter mileages, but it is illegal to do it to gain money on the sale. Something like that.

Dnk Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 I thought lots of supras were clocked from Japan the moment they started being imported, my own supra was tampered with after i sold it and the odo in miles was then advertised as Kilometers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
