That's what I mean Jay, I certainly would pass on a vehicle if it had that much miles on a "new"car, unless they would adjust the price(not likely) then MAYBE I would consider it.


I test droveafewdifferent stangs for more than 50 miles.
They will let you do it if you ask. I didn't say they all had 0 miles on them. There ISsuch a thing as a DEMO car!

Ya Wolfey, I guess that is at big dealerships. But were I live demos don't exist. What's on the lot is what they got. Ct. dealers are too small to have one car for that purpose. Like at the most my dealer might have 6 Mustangs, right now only one. I guess in big city/high voluum dealers they can afford one for demo purposes and sell it later discounted.

Well sure, if your lucky enough to have access to a demo vehicle on the premises, Amen to you, not always the case.....I test drove 3 stangs and one happened to be the managers demo.

I hear you ajc, i'm waiting on my Stang, supposed to be here any day now and it's nerve wrecking to hear some of the complaints on this board; leaks, rattles, thunking, seat **** to fold front seat busting, etc.

Did you order one or buy one off the lot? GT or V6? I'm trading in my 12,000 problem free 2006 civic.

I understand your concerns. I have the "Thunk" only. I finally had my "Leak" test last week and I passed that. Don't forget the gas tank that can only be filled half way. Leave it Ford to have a gas tank that shuts off at the half way point. Oh, and some GT's come with unbalanced drive shafts. I sincerely hope you get a good one.

Unless you have already put down a big deposit I would really consider another brand of vehicle. This clunking gets old pretty fast! And you may not hearonjust a short test ride. Find a 1"-2"step to drive over slowly before you buy it. Mygarage has a step and every time I go anywhere I'm reminded ofthis clunking before I even get out of my driveway.
