I like this car, but pictures do not lie. Notice at 1.05 of the video, when the driver has just accelerated in 1st gear up to 3000 rpm, then makes a shift into second gear, the needle on the speedometer has not moved at all. And at this point at ~30 mph, the needle should be clearly up. It is a fact that it was not working when the video was taken, and given 1) that these electronic speedometer/odometers are easily disconnected, and given 2) the low indicated miles shown on the odometer are a significant determinant of the value of this car, this fact is of concern to me and any other potential buyer. It clearly was not working in the video. Perhaps you do not know about this or why, and perhaps the gauge is faulty, or intermittent, but the distance this car was driven on the video was not recorded, making the true miles unknown. No doubt this is a nice car, but I have seen cars just as nice with triple the miles if extreme care was taken of the car. This is a real issue and is a fact, shown clearly and proven on the video.
