I wonder if that's the one I saw in Wolverhampton last night, complete with registration number C63 AMG??

Hello

It says '1 mile' on the trip...

BUT

I knew a guy at VW and when a friend bought a new Golf, he said press the reset before the trip gets to 70miles and it resets the odometer. You can do this 3 times...

It worked...

So once all the sales guys have had a go up the nearest dual carriageway they can reset it.... (maybe don't know if this little trick works in a merc)

Silly money though £75,000 for a C class....

Granted it will be awesomly quick but it simply does NOT look £75K's worth

I've read that it can be reset through STAR below a specific mileage. Not sure how true it is, because it was probably a bloke on t'interweb who knew about as much as me.

Surely can't be two silver C63 AMGs in Wolverhampton so soon??

I would not say no to that C63!

Technicians/sales staff etc. that take certain cars/models out to "play" can and they do also disable the odometer on both unsold and customer cars!

I couldn't add the wide wheels as it made the site crash, but without that option I only got to Total price (incl. VAT , excl. OTR):56,540GBP

So is it a typo or is someone being cheeky.

John
