Not necessarily. A mate of mine owns an exotic that has spent the vast majority of its life in a garage (covered 1,200kms in 16 years) and it runs perfectly fine. Even the tyres are original factory fit. Granted, its had all fluids changed 3 or 4 times during that time but at least this EB was driven a few kays.

I think its a dodgy vehicle. it has wear on gearknob and steering wheel and floor mats that seem to indicate a lot more use than 10000km. also the headlights seem to have seen a lot more time either out in the weatherr or on the road than the 10000km he say.

don't think full truths are being told.

Just remember sun is not the only thing that ages something. Oxygen plays a part too.

They don't look like the original tyres but I guess after that amount of time the originals could have been cracking etc. The part of the seat you can see still looks like new.

How could you honestly put forward that statement without seeing the car in the flesh?
Have you taken into consideration the camera flash, reflection on different surfaces, lighting etc and do you think that everybodys shoes are spotlessly clean?
