Hi Wildon,
Many thanks for your help. Big relief as I got the car by mid Nov and was wondering whether I landed with an old car because the odo showed nearly 100km..

Wildon,
Many thanks for the info. Was worried that I landed up with an older car as the odo was showing more than 100km when I got it during mid Nov..Big relief now as it is Oct manufactured ..

Cheers!!
