lol, hilarious that people thik they can buy one off the lot with less than 10 miles or so. Mine had 7 but was just delivered. You do realize that if not oredered that others have the right to test drive the car. Is your idea of a test drive no more than 1 mile? Seriously, unless you order it, there is nothing wrong with a new car having a few miles from test drives on it. This thread seems to be about no purpose at all.

Well a salesman at a local dealer trusted me, I guess, so he let me and the wife take out a car to test drive alone. I ran the car hard hitting 9k as often as I could. Now, would you really want to buy that car that is not even near the break in period???

I think I might have you all beat...my 2005 had .5 miles and it brings me a HUGE smile to know that 99.99% of the miles put on my baby come from my right foot...
There's just no way. The parking lots they park them in at the factory are HUGE, the boat they ship in is gigantic, and then they go in 2 more parking lots before ending up at your dealer.

Maybe you were looking at the Trip Odometer....
