Default Dodgy mileage Cosworth on E-Bay........

Just a warning for anyone thinking of looking at this,its done 154,000

I know its got complete eng re-build,but still naughty advertising the mileage as original

surely a potential buyer would find a receipt with higher mileage on,

i would not be bothered about buying a 150k er, as long as everythnig sound and straight, would not bother me

The thing is, when a car has done that many miles, it's not just the engine that is the concern. So it is wrong to advertise a car based on the mileage the engine has covered. Muppet.
