Mine had 44 miles on it.
Someone had pre-ordered it but changed their mind when
they saw the grey on on the lot.

mine had 17 when I test drove it first, and I put 4 on the td, took delivery with 21 miles..

It was also someone elses pre-order. I'm very happy with it, and I think I've got a definate boost with the colder weather.. my power is definately up...

I had 9 miles on my Winning Blue GT with Nav.

4 of those miles were my own TD miles.

Funny, mine was a pre-order, too. I had pre-ordered a red one. I happened to be at my dealer when the winning blue was being loaded off the truck for another customer. I had commented to the Sales Manager that I liked the blue better than the red. He said it was also a pre-order. Long story short, the deal on the winning blue pre-order fell through because the original customer couldn't get financed and I got his car.

I don't know what the original mileage was when they off loaded the truck, but before I signed all the papers, it had 5 miles on it and I put another 4 on it before driving off the dealer's lot.

I bought mine off the lot, not a pre-order. Had 30 miles on it when I took it. Now has over 3800. Has been a joy to own and drive so far! :D

A good question is how much miles on the car would have you say Hells no...

mine had 7 miles at delivery. 4 when it was picked up at the other dealer. someone put on 3 more between pickup gas up and delivery. the dealer was nice enough to flatbed the car to me from another dealer 100+ miles away.

if this wonderful car had over 10 miles it was a deal breaker for me. i only wish i had a digital camera with me when i took delivery 9/23/03...

btw - i love this machine...

Probably anything over 50 miles on the odo would be a deal breaker.

10. I noticed the test drive route my dealer uses is 7, so I think it arrived with 3 and he let someone test drive it. Can't prove a thing and dealer swears it ain't so. After I test drove, it had 17 and I took it home that day.
