If the mileage display doesn't work, how do you know it has 23000 miles?

I'd say you have one hell of a special Ti if the mileage is accurate.

Please post pics

You guys across the pond seem to run into some really nice ti's. Do you see many on the roads in the U.K.?

There are several where i am, which is surprising as its only a small town. I think german engineering is famous for its reliability, plus they can be bought fairly cheaply now, is probably the reason. The replacement for the ti, the "one series"
is also popular.
