There was 1 mile on it on Friday when it arrived at the dealers, there better not more than another few yards when I pick it up in half an hour!

Why Anil, has yours arrived at the dealers with more miles than you thought?

18ME, no car is due around the 15th Nov :confused: .

I only ask as when I brought my wife a new Yaris it had 57 miles on the clock, which I made sure they gave me some free accessories for.

Seems between 1 and 50 is the norm. The fewer the better in my book.

After receipt and preperation of the car the dealer needs to take it out for a trail and I therefore suggest 15 miles or so should be acceptable but if only 1.5 then he has tested nothing.

Mine had 2 on it. Is that the distance from the boat to customs? Makes me wonder what type of character was given the job of doing that.
Specman - 44?? OMG? When you collected it, did it have an illuminated sign on top, a meter fitted to the dash and kebab wrappers on the back seat??? I'd have a word if I were you.

I would be really worried if 20 miles were on the clock ... it's not normal practise (as far as I know) for dealers to do more than a quick run round the block. More than this and as far as I am concerned the guys have been playing with MY car or taking customers out in it. grrrrrrrr

Nah nah not worried at all. Delivered to wrong branch in error and driven the 42 miles down from there. Road is a slow one and littered with little nasty white vans too so there would have been little chance of abuse.
Salesman promised me he didnt go above 4500rpm. Remember I am 6'4'' and 270lbs......

Oops was so excited I read the big number on the top, not the bottom one. So mine actually had 4 whole miles on the clock. http://rx8ownersclub.co.uk/forum/files/djr_rx8_010s.jpg
I've put on another 240 joy drenched miles today though :D
