I saw a 0km car in UCD. I did not get which one as I was buying all that I did not have. Has anyone encountered this? Sorry, i was not able to get a photo.

There's a thread about this somewhere with a list of 0km UCD cars that people have seen. I can never get the search function to work for me so maybe someone else can find it.
In response to why do people like 0km cars: well, for me I just like to see how many miles I've put on a car and there's something nice about having a brand spanking new one. It'd be nice if you could reset the mileage when you do an engine overhaul. I never used to care about it but now I've got to the point where I'll buy cars from the OCD even if I already have them and sell off the old one.
This is most commonly found with Concept Cars and very rare cars in real life.
The Dodge Viper Concept and the Ford GT '02 are ones I have seen more than once.
And the Veyron always has 0. I've never not seen it with 0km.
People are drawn to cars with minimum millage because after around 4,000 miles you start to have permanent BHP power loss. Although GT5 has a engine break-in effect, it starts at around 6 miles or so.

orly? Not so sure I agree with that. Ever been involved with a race team? I am sure a lot of people would be suprised at the life of a race engine. Some engines have quite a long life span as far as mileage goes. And with regular service, inspections, and rebuilds they run at peak horsepower for quite a long time. Teams would not run engines that were down on power by even a few percent. And if they had "permanent" damage starting at 4k it would make for astronomical enine budgets.

In one F1 season teams are allowed 8 engines for each car. Anyway with road cars it's different and after 50,000 miles or so (I know this because my dad's car is 14 years old and has 150,000~ miles on the clock) the engine has lost roughly 5% of it's origanal power.

How many rebuilds has it had? I would be willing to bet, that if a road car engine had that sort of mileage and had a rebuild every 50k-75k miles that there would be no noticeable power loss. And that is significantly more mileage than the 4k miles that it is suggested there is permanent damage or power loss.
