If honest si seller sa numbers nya, nasa average pa yung mga tinakbo nya. Mine is 9 year old nasa 93K, I consider it low kasi daily drive po ito (for 2 years ung daily route ko back/forth less than 6km lang haha).

Unfortunately ang picture ay picture lang, wala ng iba pa. It does not tell you anything po, and can be misleading. I think may magandang resource sa Topgear PH (paki search nalang, recent lang ung article) about what to look for if you're in the market for a 2nd hand car.

When it comes down to it, use your gut, do not be afraid to walk away, and by asking the right questions you will know if things do 'add up' or if he is just trying to pull a fast one on you.
