Maybe not....

I had racked up the 140,000 klms, but when I sold the car it had very few kilometers on the engine, and many other parts had low "ish" kilometers.

i.e. during the 6 years I owned it, I had upgraded just about every nut and bolt, and it had a completely new leather interior and boot trim.
It had twice the horsepower than it had in 2003, and it was in WAY better condition than it had been 6 years earlier, when it had done very few kilometers.

I could have parked it most days, driven it only on a nice Sunday occasionally, and it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good.

It all depends on what has been done to the car, and the quality of the upgrades I guess.
