Reply to "Pantera #4524 - 3800 Mile Pantera?"

A few good ways to document a purported ultra low mileage car, especially a "3,800" mile car.

"1"...Does it have the original as delivered spark plugs, oil filter, rotor, cap, spark plug wires, fuel filter.

"2"...Original disc pads & subsequent wear in accordance with stated mileage.

"3"...Wear on all switches. Should be NO indication of wear with only 3,800 stated mileage, especially the windshield wiper switch. In 3,800 miles, how many times if ANY was the car driven in the rain??!!

"4"...The plastic gears to manually raise the lights, should be PERFECT!!!

"5"...Headlamps should be as delivered & possibly date coded.

"6"...The male seatbelt insert should show as new & the passenger male seatbelt insert should appear PERFECT!!!, as if it has NEVER been used. Figuring in 3,800 miles...How many times was there a passenger in the passenger seat???!!!

"7"...Should have the COMPLETE tool kit with ALL the fuses, figuring...In 3,800 miles ...How many times was a fuse blown & needed to be replaced?!...answer should be ZERO!!!

"8"...Should have original keys, & the points of the keys should appear unworn & SHARP!

"9"...The chrome area around the driver's side key insert should be relatively scratch free & the passenger side should be PERFECT!!...in 3,800 miles...How many times was the passenger door opened via a key???!!...less then 10?

There's a brief list from my "Detective Handbook of documenting Ultra Low Mileage Cars"...available online at Amazon for $59.99 autographed copies are $39.99...Mark
