My paperwork says 6, but I'm buying from out of state and having it shipped. I'm curious to see what the number is when the car arrives - it better not be 1006!
Whoa - 250? I personally would not have accepted delivery of that vehicle. No idea what kind of driving it underwent during that time period. Then again, maybe that's just me.
When one figures some time on the test rollers in the factory, drive from the assembly building to the storage lot, drive from the storage lot to the truck, drive from the truck to the port storage lot, drive from the port storage lot to the ship, drive off the ship to the port storage lot here, drive from the storage lot to the truck, drive from the truck to the dealer's lot, drive from the lot to the prep bay, drive back, maybe a short test drive...it's easy to see how 5 or 6 miles can be a practical minimum. Even less is certainly possible but unusual. I've been in the port of Yokohama and watched car carriers get loaded. The longshoremen who drive the cars all drive like they're frustrated Formula 1 drivers. Search for pure car carrier images for more pictures.
Mine had 5 miles. I put another 6 miles on the test drive, so I must have been the first person other than a Toyota employee to drive it.
The one I bought was on a dealer lot, and had about 40 miles (it had been test-driven before -- including me when I went to the lot). Another one I test drove a few days earlier (at another dealer) had 90 miles on it (that dealer had listed the same car/VIN # at two of its different locations, so I assume besides the test drives, they probably drove it back and forth between the two lots).
Mine had 3 miles on it. I was in a bit of shock because my previous car also new had either 15 or 17 miles on it. I can't remember exactly. I would not accept a new car with more than 20 miles on the ODO.
