7 on my 9


most cars will have 3+

Every car my family has been preordered in advance to avoid this and the all have at least a few miles. Even MB, BMW, Maserati, etc etc all have a couple from testing.

a friend of mine got an inifinti ordered and apparently the fx45 trucks all have 15-17 on them.....

Cheers!

I had 11 miles on mine, but the dealer said that I could only test drive the X after I filled up the forms and run my credit report to see if I'm qualify for an evo X

I test drove mine right after it got done getting PDI'd and after I got back it had about 2 miles on it. So if they drove mine then it was only in the parking lot! Most cars will be test driven for a mile or two by the techs after they pdi the car though, I just got lucky cause I was there while they were literally getting it off the delivery truck. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

23. 10 of which were from my test drive.

i took my srt-4 in for service and got it back with 33 extra miles on it. i *****ed out the service staff and said i will never get service there again (at dodge). and to reinforce that vow i told them that i was going next door and selling my car to mitsu for an evo x.

"got out of dodge" yesterday.

its just the idea that when you buy a new car, its in perfect condition. and you don't want some jackass messing soemthing up during that valuable break in period

I got my IX MR with 3 miles on it.

My brother bought his 04 WRX with 400 and something miles. Never had a single problem with that car.

480 KM's on mine.. They are in short supply in Canada, and all of them are being test driven lots.. But I got the dealer to drop a few hundred below MSRP on the sale as compensation.

Car drives like new except for the misfire problem.. which a reflash should cure
( right ).

Not a mark on it anywhere when I got it, but the material quality on the car in not so great so I am thinking it will start looking old well before its time anyway...

That's ok just so long as it rips!

i found a "predelivery inspection" packet in the trunk yesterday when i was washing it. it states that the car had 1 mile on it and was test drive for 5 by someone at the dealership to make sure everything works. then when i test drove it it had 13 miles on it. so someone else must have drive it for 7 more miles.

anybody else have this packet in their cars when they bought them?

i also found that someone ate the curb with the rim before i took delivery. didn't see that on the lot. ****! i will have to call them. now i look like some chick with scatched up rim.
