Maybe he's referring to kilometers?

OP is it an Auto or 6MT? What maintenance has been done? Any accidents?

Sorry about that guys. It's in kilometres and I'm going to contact the used car lot this morning and inquirers about the maintenance. I just wanted to know what potential issues the car may have, so i can ask them about it. And I'm definitely going to tell them I want a 3rd party mechanic to give the car a prepurchase check up.

It's actually been out since late summer '06, so 10.5 years.
