One of my buddies just picked up a MkIV 20 anneversary edition GTI and supposedly it has 6,000 miles on it. He got it for ~$17,000 and swares that it only had 6,000 miles on it. I took a look at it and it looks like total shit and I told him that there were deffinately more miles on it. The paint is chipped, clutch is tight, shifter and steering wheel show major signs of wear, paint has wayyy to many swirl marks and burn throughs from being buffed, I don't think the tires are original, and it overall looks beat to hell. Now he took it to a mechanic that is supposedly a VW guru:thumbdown: and got it checked out and the guy said that the milage is accurate....BS.
How do you check milage if it has been rolled back? Is there a counter on the transmission or crank case? or is there any way to dig deep into the ECU and check the actual milage?
