Only 58,300 miles..... ????

Sure looks nice.....

That engine compartment does not reflect an under 60k mile car.

What exactly does "normal oil consumption for one of these diesels" mean? Doesn't this car have under 60k? Mine has 201k now and does not use any oil between my 3k oil change intervals. Do these things usually consume oil or am I just lucky?

Have to give the lister some credit. That is a good description. No obvious effort to conceal the real condition. Some would have listed this as a "rust free" gem in excellent condition. This description clearly says check this out carefully before you buy.

I think that the car has a lot more miles on it than 58,300 in my opinion. Something is not right about this car, I just can't put my finger on it. It would be nice to see what a Carfax report would say.
