How can you have a car with "0" miles? The car was driven at some point.......when its PDI'd they do a road test.........anything less than 20 is fine with me. At least I know the car was checked out and that things work.

5 miles, though not sure why. Gas station was across the street and they have their own car wash on site. Didn't really see the need to complain, everything about the cars is awesome over the first 2800 miles.

Guy it's not just the odo. Go in and check the AVG SPEED So... what you're telling me, dear SA, is that you managed to average 80kph on 12 kilometers. I don't want this car

That's strange. How come your speedo only goes to 260km? The speedo with KM as primary scales to 280km. I guess they had to keep it neat and end with a nice even number in miles?

Mine had 1 mile on it, and I did my own PDI and fuel fill-up. The only time I didn't drive it was when it went to clean up. After that, it sat in the showroom until my lease was approved.

5 miles. gas station was just across the street, so that took just .5 miles.

car arrived the day before we picked it up. could they have joy ridden the car then? forgot to see 'average miles' on the trip computer though. darn!

it drives fine, with 600 miles on it at this time. i'm trying not to fixate on this issue.

Hmm. I e-mailed my CA asking about tint (if they have someone come in, or drive the car out). He replied back that they drive it out and also in a separate question I asked, said the cars have 15-20 miles on them after he, and a tech test it. That really doesn't make me happy.

My car after taking forever to get here had over 12 miles on it. I KNOW they drove it for about 10 miles at the dealership. That's a little more than necessary to PDI or test the car or get gas. It would be nice if Mad Dragon could shed some light on the back end of this. Meaning, is there a way for technicians to query the computer and get that information.

I had 4 miles on my car when it arrived. The mileage was one item on my list to the CA to watch out for. I told him don’t let anyone drive it except to put gas in it. The guys that detail and fill your car up are the one that worked as Valet drivers in the past and we all know about Valet drivers.

I just got mine at the Performance Center in SC yesterday. There was a total of 1 mile on it. And we forgot our camera... I think they drove it from the prep center across the street.
