Does the interior look like an 88,000 mile car?

My 93wrx came over with about 56,000km on the clock (then had a converter to change it to miles),the interior condition was very good (seat bolsters weren't worn out,carpets were fine,steering wheel wasn't worn).

exterior wise it's got a few dents and scratches.

Aren't you mistaking miles for Kilometers ??

to be honest i dont know if it is showing km/ml, i assume its miles.

if its showing 88,000 do you think it is made up of km & ml or when it got imported it started from fresh, so 88,000 miles plus what it dont in japan in km

thanks

how long ago was it imported ?
and what model/year is it ?

it may well still be in KM , it certainly was in japan

the traffic in japan is worse than ours so most of the cars over there do have low miles . . . . i bought a MY95 WRX last year , fresh import , 81000 Km , about 50k miles. as above, the interior was perfect but it did have a few dings etc , for £2100 though it was well worth it, specially as i spent £450 on it and sold it for £3250

I bought my 93 K plate wrx with 42k miles on the clock in Feb'06, like the replies above it had a perfect unworn interior and the car was standard bar a turbo timer.

It came with the Jumvea certificate to prove the mileage/kilometers
