John,
I hope you confirmed the low mileage with a VOW dealer... They keep service
records on computer with mirages. Sometimes the odometer goes bad and the
unit must be replaced with a new one that starts out at 0 miles! Also
someone on the list a while back mentioned a web page where you can go...
give your credit card number... and get mileage checks somehow. I don't know
how this works, but it seems to me worth the insurance.
Bill
