2011 PPV 130K miles, 734.5 engine hours

[PopoPackage2011]

What do you guys think?

Seems almost too good to be true with the engine hours/mileage ratio. I have seen around forums that they reset potentially? is it user resetable?

If not I think I got the deal of a lifetime for $5K

Must be reset-able, 60mph x 1000 hrs would be 60,000 miles.
Unless they were driving 150mph the whole time..

I wonder if with a high end scanner if I can tell

Then again, the cop could have been posted up in a parking lot for most of the cars life idling....

Does no one do math any more?
130,000 miles on odometer
734 engine hours
130000/734 = 177 mph

That's some pretty fast driving.
A police unit, especially a K9 unit (having to constantly run heat or A/C to keep the dog comfortable) with that kind of miles - I'd expect engine hours to be in the range of 6000-8000.

Well heres my question- are engine hours driving hours AND idle hours? Thats why I was a bit confused. Imagine how much a cop sits around in parking lots with the engine running in park. Thats whats throwing me off.

Engine hours are simply the time the ignition is on. Driving and idling both. "Typical" for most normal-use vehicles is an average of about 30 MPH. So a vehicle with 130,000 miles and a "normal" usage cycle, one would expect would have ~4000-4500 hours. That's why I said 6000-8000 for a K9 unit. Given that the officer has to make sure a reasonable temperature is maintained for the dog, they idle even more than other police vehicles.
