Other than that its stock as a rock except the mags and seat covers!! Im only the 3rd owner and I bought it off the Neice of the original owner (a nurse in Sydney)so its history is concrete.

Can anyone top the K's and originality?? Taxi's excluded!
I recently sold my xf van , 550.ooo and had an engine rering at 520k , auto ( a c4) had never been out)
Currently my el wagon has 597.000 and just had a motor and auto replacement . Still going strong on superlows wide rubber on 7.5" pursuites and whiteline suspension

My AU has 147,XXX on the clock. Has not missed a beat and still going strong.

My old 1983 Mazda 626 had probably half a million on it. It died a painful death thanks to a tree. The tree fell on it one day.
