New Delivery Odometer Miles

fly yellow · 05-25-2009, 10:55 AM

Wow, most of you would have ran from mine. I had over 300 miles on it. Mine was brought in for another guy who ended up not going through with the deal. It was also test driven by a lot of folks who had no intention on buying the car. I haven't noticed any problems, and I put that many miles on a car in about 4 days.

Most of the guys that DX cars for dealers are retirees. They are not 17 year old kids. Dealerships aren't going to pay for that kind of insurance. I used to own a detail shop when I was 19, and I couldn't get contracts with car dealers because of my age and insurance.

Well, many people are picking their car up from the truck almost. Mine came in Wednesday and I got it Friday night, my name was on it and no one drove it other than for the state inspection thing.

It's a personal thing, some people care, some people don't. If youre cool with it, that's all that matters.

Believe me I would have loved to back mine out of the crate. I am just incredibly impatient, so ordering wasn't an option.

Yeah, mine had 114 miles on it. I asked if it was a dealer trade and they said no. I didn't really pursue it as my options were extremely limited (it was take that car or put in an order to Nissan) and I lacked the patience to place an order. But there just weren't any Monterey Blue touring models with sport and navigation packages that came in 6MT around. All in all, it doesn't really bother me. I punched it a few times before 1,000 miles so I doubt anyone did much worse with my car before I bought it. I guess I'd be more worried about someone grinding the clutch repeatedly but it, too, seems fine.

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
