Or she's an idiot trying to sell her aging father's car for him because he's old and has dementia and clearly cannot drive any longer... Could have had a replacement instrument cluster installed, but not programmed to the current miles at the time of installation. Not uncommon, but certainly MUST be disclosed.

Probably no way to know for sure...

241,000 kilometers = 149,900 miles in November 2018

Currently showing 128,700 miles.

They changed the cluster as she has the old one.

Had, still have, 3M wrap on the 06. OMG, it faded yellow after 3 years. I had to literally soak the hood and part of the front in gasoline and then take a stiff rubber squeegee and scrap it off. Ruined the paint below it. The rest of the film on the lower half of the front, I just left on. I comes off, or scrubs off easier on metal, that it does on plastic. Not worth it and I will never do that again.

I have taken film off after 6 years, and had no visible line.
