I haven't uploaded any pictures of it yet with the GT500 spoiler, but these are the pictures I took right after I got it. I have very limited access right now since a storm crushed our area last week and I still don't have internet access at the house.

As the title reads, my car came with 413 miles. Is there anyway I can track which dealer my vehicle was shipped to? They said they had to drive to their lot since it wasn't on premise. I want to make sure that most of the miles were from the actual drive, and not accumulated from many test drives. Let me know. Thanks!

The answer to your question is either look at the window sticker or call your insurance agent. Insurance companies have access to a data base called the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Your agent can find shipping information there and tell you where the car was shipped to from the factory.

That wouldn't jive in my book...It's like buying a demo car.
At that mileage, it's almost broken in and if I buy a new car, I want to break it in.
This scenario here, calls for a major discount IMO...

It doesn't really bother me. A demo car would have WAY more than 400 miles. It was a straight trip from NC to VA, driven by some guy in his 60's. If those were all test drive miles, then yes, there would be a problem.

My '12 GT 5.0 was located in KY. My dealer swapped them a new car (from inventory) and some cash to get them to swap. A little old man drove my car from KY to MI, then drove the other car back to KY. Now they had a new car with ~400 miles on it, and I bought my new car with 413 miles on it. Again, "new" doesn't mean less than 20 miles (I forgot the max allowed before it can no longer be sold as "new") - never titled = new.
My guess is that it may have been part of a dealer trade (like my deal). Perhaps it was a dealer trade for someone who either backed out of the deal or failed on the financing, too. Only if your dealer was/is a shyster would I be worried that someone ragged on it for ~400 miles.
There are many logical explanantions. I wouldn't sweat ~400 miles. The engine isn't even broken in yet!

Whoa, thread bump!
Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, this car was a custom order which the customer backed out on down in NC. It was driven up here to this dealer at some point. That is where the 413 miles were from. The car is doing fine and I recently passed 3000 miles
