Low miles c124 320

Factory aircon (not that it really matters) and could be a great buy BUT why isn't the mileage warranted and why has it got those wheels?
Advert's a little short on detail.
 
The aircon is factory fitted. The diavia ones have a snowflake instead of the EC. The front bumpers on the factory fitted ones also have horizontal cooling slots although the smooth bumpers on the non factory version sometimes get replaced with slotted ones at a later date.
 
Those wheels were available in that year as far as I'm aware, I once had an M reg with them, they were original, Avantgarde has a green one with them too.
 
so its a 5 owner car thats done 49,000.......unlikely that all 5 owners have only covered very low average mileage. The fact that there is no service history would start me to question the mileage.

Clocked by EACH owner? :rolleyes:
 
I suspect that at some stage in the past its had the common speedo head problem, and has had a new speedo fitted which has conveniently wiped off the true mileage, hence the lack of service history.
 
Forgive my ignorance, how can you spot a non factory fit ac? The switches look oem to me

switches will look OEM, but wood around them doesn't look OEM, it has been cut out, same as mine with Diavia. OEM A/C has got smoth edges. also 2 electric fans and radiator are exactly same as mine.

as for the buttons mine has EC and it's DIAVIA, AFAIK snowflake was used on earlier cars (pre 90) and EC after.
 
You could be right but it looks factory to me. My late '93 coupe has Diavia aircon with the snowflake and my '94 has factory with the EC.
The Diavia units were normally fitted from new because it was cheaper than the factory option. There isn't much difference, operationally.
Maybe VIN is the only way to tell for sure.
