RE: Miles on new car?
Yea, mine showed up at the dealership with 22 miles on it. Drove it off with 28 after the test drive and them moving it to the service shop to clean it up and give it some gas. This was 2 weeks ago. I have 860 miles on it now

RE: Miles on new car?
yeah that is normal, but if you start seeing a lot of miles on the car then you should be careful
mine was literally rolled off the truck in front of my eyes and had 12 miles on it
when my dad sold his car, he went to the land rover dealer to look at LR3s, so he picked out the one he wanted and said that he would come the next day to pick it up. He was told that it was a completely new car, and that the only miles on it were the test miles (there were about 100). So later that day he asked me to drive him to get some groceries (while we were driving we were talking about the LR3), so when i was looking for a parking spot, he saw one that was exactly like the one that he was going to pick up the next day and asked me to stop to look at it. so as we were looking at it we noticed that the interior still had the dealer covers on the seats, dash, and what not. so just ask a joke i said "hey, maybe the sales person decided to take it for a drive for the last time." then we both actually considered it and he grabbed a sharpie from my car and made a little mark on the bumper. as we were leaving we also saw the car leaving, and it was going in the same direction as us so as we were driving we saw him pull into his drive way and get out and go inside his house. anyways, the next day my dad goes to the dealer and checks out the bumper to see if, in fact, that was the car that he was going to buy...and guess what...IT WAS hahaha...anyways, we did not get the car and we are going to a different dealer now....lol
