Default How many miles on the clock?

Spotted this for sale on Autotrader with 290,000 miles on the clock. It's either a mistake or we should all the bowing down before the s2000 engine

Most probably an error - although 160 miles a day, every day for 5 yrs - possible, but unlikely

58,000 per year, every year, I doubt it.

My hunch is that:
a) it's meant to read 29,000
b) at that price, it's a scam or a really dodgy example that they can't shift.

Or it is a typo and its 90,000 miles which it much more likely

Thing is though, if the miles where wrong wouldn't you change it?

Obviously a person in advertising or trick of the trade?
