Yeah spartan im in the same boat. I showed up at the dealer 4 years ago with a bag full of cash to pay for most of the car and they still wouldnt let me test drive. Then one of the salesmen was like hey man this is my cell number you can drive my evo to see if you like evos when i get off work but keep it hush hush. 7 or 8 pm rolled around and i called him up and he picked me up. Then he let me drive his car for a half hour or an hour and i bought my GG 9 the following day from him. If it wasnt for this guy i would probible be driving a 350Z.

Really nice of the dealer to do that. I had to find a few used evos to test drive before getting mine.
I was looking at the 370z too. My wife wanted the z cos it was fast when we test drove it and looked sporty. But then it all changed once we got our hands on a used evo to test drive.

243 miles on mine since the dealership had to get the car from Oklahoma City. In exchange for the miles I got window tint and wheel locks

5 miles on mine from South Coast. Still had plastic on the seats. I think I remember them saying they don't even allow test drives of evo's.

It depends on the dealer for test drives, mine had no problem with me taking it for a rip.

I bought my Evo with 71 miles on it.

Its pretty funny hearing people be so picky about finding a car with so low miles on it, especially if its a 2010 and being this late in the model year.

If I thought it was a fair price and all I wouldnt let the odo scare you at all... it's probably only consumed 3 gallons of gas at most. As for buying any car without test driving it, or at least a car just like it I feel is stupid. I ran into that problem when I was looking to buy a vette a couple of years ago, dealers in the city sucked! Wouldn't let you drive till the last second. Luckily I found a cool dealer about an hour away, well worth the drive.

Well they may not be lying about the transfer thing My last new car a Mazdaspeed 3 I took with 120 miles on it cause it got driven down from a port in CT to sufflok new york. I wasn't happy I wasn't par tof the break in miles but that cars motor took hell from me for 60k miles before I sold it.

I can't lie though I was ecstatic when I got my PB GSR 2 days ago that the odometer said 2 miles on it and that's just cause the dealer went to put gas in it lol. Even so I saw when he was pulling back into the lot he was toasting that clutch alittle so yeah not sure 47miles is such a good thing on an X. other cars maybe but def not on anX.
