Mileage on a new car?

vipor · 01-22-2010, 10:33 AM

i had like 37 miles on my car when i got it. it was trucked in but i'm sure someone drove it around a bit at the original dealer. normal really. just do a thorough inspection and you'll be fine.

look for wheel rubs, paint chips where the bumpers meet the fenders and rear quarters, scratches on the interior (especially the cup holder area)

This has been beat to death in other threads. I've bought new cars with anywhere from 4 to 300 miles. The latter were driven in from other dealerships by old men who do this all the time. Don't sweat it..

Exactly, my 370 had 58 on it, my Max had 17, my wife's G had 81. No issues on any.

Mine had 62. I used that when negotiating a deal, said it was too high for me, and they whacked a little more off the top. I figure as long as somebody didn't beat the snot out of it for 40-50 miles...and after 1300 driven, all is well.
