Has anyone here delt with this company before? They have a hj61 I kinda want to go take a look at but was wondering if they were a decent vendor before commit to drive 5 hours to check them out.
Here's the link by the way.

That one was reported as having an odometer discrepancy, note the asterisk by the KM's in the attached auction sheet. Same truck, same VIN.

They've been in my "buyer be aware" list a couple times before:

Buyer Be Aware: 1991 HZJ77 - HZJ770002217

Buyer Be Aware: 1985 HJ60 - HJ60031793

Auction sheet says 270000klms, seller says 270000miles. A mistake or are they tring to muddy the waters?
Miles is probably about right.

The "*" means discrepancy.

The "*" means discrepancy.

I'm fully aware of that, just wondering if they are covering their ass by saying it is 270k miles.
