I think they are two different cars.

I got mine from a guy in colorado who got it from an estate in CA.

I bought it on the side of the road with no real knowledge of diesels or if this car would even make it 10,000 miles. I thought it would be an airport car as I had a job where I flew every week. 10,000 miles would have lasted two years.

It has made it 30,000 and aparently it will go for a good while longer.
