marcus · 01-15-2007, 03:52 PM

just kinna curious how much kilometer should a new car have before the actual pick up?

Blenjar · 01-15-2007, 04:35 PM

1 to 10..pickup, drop off..cleaning, parking lot..
11+ sum1 test drove it..
I got mine at 55 because...well..they drove it from a dealer that's approx 40 to 50 miles away the day before I ordered it..

got mine with 13 miles on it. dealer said that the average is around 20 miles.

Katana · 01-15-2007, 04:46 PM

Mine had 0 km.Lucky me!

The thing is that we do not know how fast the dealer's guys drove our car...

Kitt · 01-15-2007, 04:52 PM

Fifty something, it was driven from the dock to the dealer and it is the right distance

acrbill · 01-15-2007, 05:00 PM

40 miles.

The dealer has several locations in the area and the window sticker said the car was shipped to another location so it makes sense that they had to drive it over, plus it probably had a few test drives on it.

Six miles.

Mine had 10 km (approx. 6 miles) on the odometer at the time of delivery. My home and the Toyota dealership are near the port where cars are unloaded from ships.

12 kms on ours when we got it. The car's odo when you buy it shows:

- test drive kms at the factory
- car driven from the factory to the dock (or at least to a car carrier if the dock is far from the factory)
- car driven from the dock to the dealer (some dealers use car carriers)

0KM can NEVER happen unless u buy it from the conveyer belt or sumfin.....

johnnyfive · 01-15-2007, 09:04 PM

79 miles on mine, they drove it in from out of state...got me the car 3-4 months earlier ;)

60 Somethings · 01-15-2007, 10:53 PM

6 miles on ours when I gave it a test drive of another 6 miles before signing the papers - so papers to DMV showed 12 miles.

uncleyaris · 01-16-2007, 12:20 AM

mine had only 13km.

uy

jbll · 01-16-2007, 09:39 AM

18km on mine. I think it has never been test drive...

Black Yaris · 01-16-2007, 09:45 AM

5 miles here, I drove it off the lot a few hours after it was unloaded from the truck

You're being anal over a few digits on an odometer. The easiest way to move a car around once its been built is to drive it. If you are buying a Ferrari you maybe have a case to demand a zero mileage car.

You're buying an econobox.

100 miles on the clock on a car that is going to be driven probably over 100,000 in its lifetime is really a poofteenth. Delivery guys aren't going to baby your car, warm it up, keep it below 3000rpm, they're going to make each trip as quickly as possible.

Get over it, you'll live easier.
