If my memory serves me well, the last time that was up for sale a couple of years ago it was claimed that it belonged to a doctor.

The ad says, "owned for the last 15 years by my chiropractor."

 

[kerry]

Yeah, last time it was a doctor, not a chiropractor. Appealing to a different demographic this time?

engine rebuilt at 134K?

Isn't that kind of low miles to need a rebuild?

That is low mileage for a rebuild on an OM616.

 

[snyder.hunter]

very low mileage for a OM616, agreed. Perhaps we can assume it was't driven for a few years and needed to be rebuild? What do you guys think?
