just posting what i saw
and it's possible, there was a 1990 MKIII Supra Turbo that had 5K miles that the guy bought as a dream car brand new and never drove it, it was CLEAN AS HELL inside. It's on SF somewhere

I know which one you're talking about Mazdagirl. There's also that 91 Vert that is like new that that woman brought to the Key Biscayne meet a few months back. I know they exist but to believe there's something like 10-20 of them out there is outlandish.

Really guys it isn't that rare to find an old vehicle with low mileage.
Look around on Ebay or go to some car shows, you'll find them. I saw a '70 Boss 302 at a car show with extremly low mileage, the car was all original. The 1st owner was a 19yr old kid, he drove it for a couple of months and went to Vietnam, was killed and his parents kept the car w/o driving it. Then it circulated from collector to collector.
My Grandma had a 84 CRX she bought new with 17K miles on it, she had 3 cars and didn't drive much.

Every now and then, you find a extreme low mileage vehicle. My uncle bought a car off a distance relative, an old lady retiree that lived in a retirement community and almost never ventured out. 5-6 year old car with less then 1500 miles on it. He put more miles on it just driving it back from Washington state to Jersey. Too bad it was a Ford Taurus.

sorry if i'm going OT here, but if you got a Spirit R would you do a LHD conversion?
i can't imagine myself EVER driving a RHD car, even when i get older (MUCH older)...i'm hoping to have the financial means to import a skyline GT-R (R34...i saw the R35 prototype....ugly as hell) and i'll convert it to LHD
*puts on flame suit*

Why on EARTH would someone choose a GREEN FD on TAN interior (the two most undesirable options) and try and make it a collectible? (I have a feeling a few guys will hang me for that comment haha). I mean...c'mon. At least get a '94/'95 Chaste White Base manual, '93 CYM R1, or a '94/'95 R2. At least choose wisely...
Plus, I'm really curious what kind of problems a car that's hardly been driven at all for over a decade may have.
Re: that Spirit R...
Holy smokes...that's insane!!
Oh and FYI, the # at the bottom is always smaller than the # at the top of the odometer, because the bottom is the trip odometer, and the top is the total mileage odometer. The TRIP odo only has 2.1 km, which is indeed more than a mile (1.3 miles to be exact). The total mileage on the vehicle is the top number (11 km), which is 6.835 miles
InvisibleMonkey, what's so bad w/ RHD? It's not bad at all. I find it almost natural. Heck, I still go for the turn signal on the right side every now and then when I drive my FD haha.
Oh and when you have the financial means to purchase a Skyline, hit me up. I'm the man you wanna talk to
