I have attached an easy converter for you.
Careful before you buy as the car is most probably an import and this could affect your insurance (could go up).
Good luck.
Just to let you know it is 60894.37683925873 miles.

Just over 60,000 miles. Isn't there a little button on the dial that you can press? My last car had one and if you held the button in and turned the engine on it used to alternate between kilometres and miles. Be careful before parting with any money. Get the AA or RAC to do a vehicle check for you. It costs between 10 and 20 quid and is well worth it as you would become precious cargo!

Mileage is unimportant.
It is placed in the vehicle as a reminder of when to do service.
I have seen cars with 300,000 miles outperform and outlast a car with 20,000miles.
You must give it a good test drive, and if you notice anything that vibrates, makes noise, or just doesn't seem right to you, don't buy it.
Also check for leaks under the car.
A mechanic can give you a better idea of quality of care and condition.
No one but you can decide to buy.
Just be cautious, and use good judgment.
Happy driving.

Divide kms by 8 and multiply by 5 to get a good approximation.
If it is an imported model, even one with steering on 'our' side
have a word with your usual insurers to see if they will 'add' any thing on to the normal premium.
Doesn't mean you should not get it or that there is anything wrong but you need to know what the annual cost of running it will be compared to a similar car with a mile speedometer.

One mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers
Thus 98,000 kilometers equals about 60,800 miles

Rule of thumb: divide by 8, multiply by 5, so 61,250.
