How many miles is too many for new?
 

I am looking at a new Silver 8 that has every option available including Nav and all the appearance pkg stuff. I can get it for 31,800 because of the S-Plan. The only drawback is that it has 130 miles on it. Is that too many miles or am I being really picky? I know the break-in rules weren't adhered to on test drives. I will probably do a 24 or 36 month lease on it, so it will be under warranty the whole time I have it.

And grand touring package???...GET IT GET IT!!!!

130 is not too bad

yuk a lease, I hate leases You must be rich or get tired of cars fast.

I get tired of cars fast.

If you're leasing, I guess it doesn't really matter.

Get Dunlops. :D

For a new car, I say more than 30 miles is too much.

Agree on the Dunlops. Had them on my Beemer, and again on my MX-6, and will again on my RX-8 soon enough. Excellent tires.

I got mine has only 6 miles.

If ur leaseing a 8, it doesnt really matter.

If ur buying, I say more than 30 miles is too much.

Mine had 7. The number for a new car seems to vary, I've heard some have gotten it with 0 miles, though I'm not sure how that is possible since they have to test drive it, don't they?

At any rate, anything over 10 seems too much if you're buying. It's the jackasses out there who don't mind buying a car with 300 miles on it as new who encourage the dealerships to borrow cars off the lots and have fun in them. After listening to a sales man explain to me how the dealership wanted all the sales people aquainted with the RX-8, and how he gets to borrow any car off the lot to take home... I decided that dealership was the wrong place to be. Almost all the cars had 100+ miles on them.

Hey I am getting Depressed mine had 38 on it. :( ,,,,Naw I am cool with 13500 miles on it now, and no problems. I am Happy about my choice :D :D

mine had almost 100 at the time, but I didnt care, cause it was the only car with the color and options I wanted, and (at the time) it was a great deal. 300$ over invoice, so I had to take it. I just tell myself those 100 miles were not hard driven 9k redline miles.
