Re: Tricked trip 183,000 thought 83,000

My 200t had the lowest mileage I had ever seen on a Audi Turbo (200t)
here in South Africa. When I got it it had a mere 98,000km on the
odometer. I now have it at 117,000km after 6 months. I've always
suspected the car to have more mileage than indicated, part of this
reasoning coming from the untrustworthyness I form in the dealer after
having got the car. Also, if I look at the speedometer with the
instrument cluster lighting on the left edge (9 o'clock edge) has
slightly poorer lighting which makes me feel that the edge was very
slightly bent and is not let light shine through onto the instrument
face. The car has definitely had some sort of rear smash (most evident
by the crap paint job which left a watermark on the trunk lid, running
paint under the "turbo" emblem on the trunk and fine burgundy red
specks of paint on the side view mirrors!!) so I was thinking they
might have dialed the machine back a bit when fixing the car.

Ya just gotta be careful out there. I wasn't!
