Holy Crap!! 615834 miles??!!
Seriously, nice snag!! Congrats. :thumbright:

[fuzztiva]

i was surpised too but found out the owner had the car towed behind an rv so that counts for the miles. built a hitch into the front bumper to tow along with. has another motor in it now.. going to up grade to a b6 soon any way. most part is to replace clutch first.

Man, that's more miles than both mine together! Little over 300k on one, and over 200k on the other. These cars are beasts!

Interesting. Would be curious how many miles the engine has on it, versus total mileage. Still, looks like a nice car to work with. Nice snag.

[fuzztiva]

the oringinal engine was replaced at 500k now has another motor in it. said it had 60k when installed. odometer shows 615k + but for near 700k miles on body its in darn good shape. better than what ive seen on others with only 130k

[batstiva]

Yeah, definitely looks good considering the mileage, no doubt. Just saying I wonder what the split would be between running miles and rolling miles. There's no way to know, I understand. I'm just stupidly curious like that.:tard:
