Ever see how big the lots are where they are stored?

Easily put on a couple miles driving it from the factory to the parking spot, then from the parking spot to the truck, then off the truck to the loading doc parking, from the loading doc to the container, from the container to the loading doc parking, from the loading doc parking to the truck, from the truck to the distribution center parking, from there to another truck, to the dealership.

Easy to accumulate a few miles.

That said, mine had 51 miles on the ODO when I got in to test drive it. I didn't pre-order it.

I'd calculate out the IRS rate for that many miles. Not sure, but if it's $0.50/mile, that $850 coming off the price of the car.

More, since it's "not new, just sold as new"...

5 when it arrived at the dealer, 8 when I took it of the lot.

Just because your car has low miles doesn't always mean it's really that low, I've talked to a BMW tech, who tested BMW's. They would grab a random BMW off the boat to test it, testing everything on the car. Then they would reset the Odometer to 0 before driving it back to the track and send it to a dealer.

I don't know if they do it on nissans thou

Balzdeep · 07-17-2009, 03:23 PM

My brand new 07 350z HR had 12 miles at pick up.

havasuwiley · 08-01-2009, 10:33 PM

what was the odo reading on your car when you bought it? my z had 5, my wifes 09 maxima had 65.

beukseb · 08-01-2009, 10:52 PM

I was driving home to Salt Lake from Walla Walla Washington. I was half way there when I picked up my phone. On my voicemail was a message suggesting my new Z was waiting. I stopped in and checked it out: Gorgeous. I started it up and found 30 miles on it?! I waited 10 weeks to find that the pesky thing had 30 miles on it? What's with that? I thought it should have been far less than that? The dealer said he's never seen one with less than 15? I also found a half inch scratch down to the metal on the left rear fender? Now I'm deflated and wondering what others miles have been? I haven't picked it up and trying to decide on my next course of action?

StLRedrider · 08-01-2009, 10:58 PM

9 miles, make them fix it. The z is brand new, it should leave that way.Bitch, bitch and make them fix it. Good luck. I think there was a thread awhile back concerning the miles

fly yellow · 08-01-2009, 11:02 PM

Well, mine had over 300 miles on it. It was DXed from another dealership for a guy that backed out of the deal. I'm not a very anal person, so i was cool with it. I doubled that mileage in just a couple days.

kdoske · 08-01-2009, 11:28 PM

mine had 7 miles when I got it. Took it for one test drive before signing and added another 7 bringing it to 14 miles. Dealer swore up and down the car was never test driven by anyone except me.

Had to drive it about 500 miles home in one day. Pretty much couldn't follow the recommended break in procedure the whole way but I follow it to a T now. I'm at 980 miles and can't wait to hit 1200 miles so I can go WOT!!!!!
