This to date was the oldest car I have ever cleaned. The client wanted the bare minimum while still looking nice from 10 feet away. They are NOT mechanically inclined in the very least and do not understand that a vehicle sitting outside not being driven for many months at a time is not the best scenario for it.
On the other end of the spectrum this Mustang has been "restored" in the past - if poorly, and is basically a driveway decoration in the clients 3rd home and is driven a couple times a year. otherwise it is parked on a gravel & grass driveway, uncovered, under pine trees for 3 seasons, than is stored in a garage in the winter. Miles read about 65K, but the odo does not have 6 digits. It started right up even after months of sitting and sounded extremely smooth, that was very surprising to me.
