Depends Posted by Ari [Email] (#2847) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ari) on Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:02:46 In Reply to: how many miles should be on a new car?, JMR, Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:33:40 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Depends on how the car was delivered, and if the dealer traded for it. If it came straight off the truck to the dealer, probably 5 or 10. But if the dealer traded to get it from another dealer, it was probably driven from dealer to dealer, so even a few hundred miles isn't out of the question.
I guess you're wondering if there are any test drive miles on the car - possibly. But frankly, I'd rather have test drive miles than dealer to dealer transfer miles. In a test drive, the dealer is keeping an eye on the driver to some extent. When they move cars from dealer to dealer by driving them, it's usually some Gopher who thinks he's in the Indy 500.
When I buy new, I always specify less than 50 miles on the odo when I fill out the purchase agreement, unless they can show why it would be different.
