I wonder about that "38K original miles" on a 1996 auto;a TEN+ YEAR old
auto.
Unless you knew the original owner,I'd suspect the odo had gone around
once,was replaced or turned back.
I'd have to see some credible do***entation on the mileage,like factory
service records,to believe it.
Call me a skeptic.
