omg, 55! lol, i kid you i'll double check tomorrow, but i think it's got 9. it's gonna be trucked to the port then maybe driven the distance of one or two blocks to get it in line and on the ship.

i talked to the shipping co. and basically it's first come first serve and get it in line to board. it's gonna take anywhere from 1 day to 1 week before it actually gets shipped out, so fill that paperwork out as quick as the hand can move! =)

if the tech's don't take it on a 10 minute test drive after PDI, a normal EVO should have anywhere from 4-9 miles depending on how far the truck is from the Service Dept., lol.
i think that's a bad statement actually... i do know of a number of dealerships who have a soft 30 miles on it because the saleperson as well as management does not allow it to be pushed, ie. Huntington Beach Mitsubishi, so disregard some of my statement! =) don't wanna get beat up by neighboring dealerships

I've seen a 04 bby ssl w/ over 50 miles before it was sold!, It also had a big scratch on driver front bumper. They said if i bought it, they would have a guy touch it up before sold to me! I didn't buy it cause i don't like bby and i don't think any touch up will ever look as good as factory paint!

oh yeah, for sure... no way no how... i honestly wouldn't mind the miles as long as i personally knew the sales force and management, but the scratch? that's a negative, houston. mind if i see how well the ACD kicks in on a turn @ 80mph? heehee, i kid you again!

Happy to say that I picked up my silver MR on Friday - only 4 miles on the odometer. Terry at White Plains Mitsu was fantastic. It is going to be pretty damn hard to keep it under 4,000 RPM for the next 996 miles.
