I do not get it. I think even 4 miles is a lot for a new car. Where do these miles come from if not test drives or joyrides? factory to truck, truck to ship, ship to truck, truck to dealer lot. I dont see how that equals 4 miles or more. I wont be taking delivery of my Z if it has more than 4 miles on it. unreasonable? I dont care. My roommate took his G off the lot with 4 miles.

I agree with you on that one. U know that people that test drives these or even the guys or gals that work there take those cars to close to redline. When i test drove one the guy was practically flooring it. I some what did the same thing.

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.
