Mileage on New Car - Delivery???

master986 · 01-18-2008, 07:46 PM

Hey.

My buddy just bought a new Civic Coupe SI and he ordered it brand new. The problem is that there were 20km on the car when he received it. For those of you who bought brand new cars, were there any km's on it when you bought it?? Is this normal??

they have to test drive to make sure it runs fine and they also move it around.

they have like a 5+ page on this same subject where everyone posted exactly what mileage they had on their car, try searching it will give you the answer you want quicker.

ewwww you bought a test drive car. i wouldnt buy any "new" car with over 50 miles. cuz idiots who test drive beat on them and or sales reps take em home and stuff.

Mine had either 15 or 17 when I first sat in it, I dont remember the exact number. I do remember for sure it had 19 as I drove it off the lot.

I run the shit out of all my cars right after buying them, Believe what you want but the first 20 miles on your engine are all about what you end up with.

i got mine at 3miles,drove home and check i got already 21miles

yeh mine had 3km n was never moved outta the showroom, so thats the one i got. they said they didnt let people test drive the Si coupes on sedans because the people that usally buy the coupes care more about the milage and test pilots then on the sedan. i dont kno if this is true or not tho, prob just to reassure me nobody drove my car.

dattebayo · 01-19-2008, 02:58 AM

mine had 3 when I got it. very very new. I love my car!

lowerlevel · 01-19-2008, 07:24 AM

well the third 8th civic i bought only had 1 mile on it..the other two were around 4-5 miles

RonsFG1 · 01-19-2008, 04:11 PM

i had 6 miles on it when i 1st got it. they have to test car the car to make sure everything is in the working order. dont expect to have 0 miles.

black08si · 01-19-2008, 04:52 PM

Just got mine yesterday and it had 1 mile on it. It's my first civic and I love it!

fleshwound250 · 01-19-2008, 04:52 PM

had 15 km on it and I specified that I wanted it brand new no test drive whatsoever.

Was a bit disapointed since he basicly told me they would not drive it and they actually did take a test drive with it. But 15km is better than 200km . So yes 15-30kms is very reasonable.

beauhance · 01-19-2008, 05:09 PM

the fa5 i was supposed to get was galaxy grey but it had 200 miles on it, so i went with habi red instead it only had 8 miles on it, i did not want to buy a car that had been beaten on right from the start
