How is this possible? (eBay car auction)

1999 Ford pick-em up
625000 miles!! Look at the pic, even shows it.

Even if this was bought in 98, that's 4 years. 156K miles a year.

Even driving 365 days a year, that would be driving over 7 hours a day averaging 60 miles an hour.

Is there something I'm missing here? That's an insane amount of miles.

well, maybe the fact that he has numerous spelling mistakes throughout the description - could there be a correlation?

maybe he doesn't lock his doors and leaves his mobil speedpass in the car?

That's alot of driving.

I vote for a misprint

Pic shows 625940 miles

Holy smokes!

It looks as though there might be a decimal point after the 4 on the odometer, so I guess it is possible that the truck has a mere 62,594 miles. It would be pretty extraordinarily if it really had 625,940 - that would be an average of about 425-430 miles per day if it was acquired at the beginning of 1999!

there is a 0 in front of the odometer, and that would make a million. I dont think odometers shows miles up to millions, and the last digit is probably the tenth place after the decimal point. so that would make it 62.5k not 625k

Exactly what I was thinking

On the others I've seen the main odometer doesn't shows 1/10s of a mile. You have to hit the trip button to see that.

If you zoom in the pic very closely, the thing that looks like a dot at the bottom of the 4 is also near the top. Can't really see a decimal, but the pic is not great to begin with. I'll just email the guy

Agreed - 62.5k miles.

Be reasonable...
