initial with 30miles when purchased

They probably let a few people test drive it....

Mine had 3 miles at time of purchase. They run each car on a test track at the factory, load it on and off a truck, and drive it in for prep and inspection at the dealer. Then they park it and drive it up for you when you come to buy it.

Anything more than a few miles sounds like they used it for a few test drives to me.

Our Pri is the first new car we've ever bought as well. Don't feel bad. These things happen. It's a learning experience, next time you'll know what to ask beforehand

 

30 miles is no big deal.

If it makes you feel any better, my wife's Honda Pilot had 250 miles on it when we picked it up "new" but it was driven across the state to the dealer. The dealer "added" 250 miles to the warranty. We actually had a $500 repair covered without question by Honda when the SUV was 3,000 miles PAST the warranty.

My 2005 Prius had 0.4 miles on the Trip Odometer and 0 on the main odo.

 

Mine had 3 miles on it. My dealer told me he drove it around to make sure everything is ok, and got gas for it. So I guess he sounded reasonable. You should prob ask your dealer why it is 30 according to the "Prius pick up check list".

Have fun with ur Prius!!

Mine had ~2800km (1740 miles) on it.

 

mine was 2 miles. Too bad I didn't take my digital camera so I could keep a picture as a souvenir

 

[font=Comic Sans MS:564e93b7d1]My Silver Cloud had 72 miles from test drives. I know I did a couple of test drives at other dealers in other cars, so I can't complain. Also, the warranty got bumped by 72 miles, so no sweat for me.[/font:564e93b7d1]

 

I got mine with 50 miles on it. It arrived at the dealership on a Friday, for someone else who had spoken for it. However this guy withdrew from the waiting list, and I was the next one in line. It was the exact configuration and color I wanted. For whatever reason the dealer only called me on Sunday AM, and by the time I got there about 10 people had driven it around the block.

I inspected the car, everything was OK, so I took it. At first site, the 50 miles bothered me, but then I thought: The car is in perfect condition, clean, and maybe a few of the 10 people who test-drove it will get a Prius instead of, say, a RAV4 or a CRV. So why let that bother me? Besides, a month from now what difference will it make that it was driven around the block a few times?

Congratulations on your acquisition, and enjoy your machine!!!

 

Ours had 4 miles on it, and I was happy to see it had so few. But, I think Alfonso makes a good point... a few test drives aren't a huge deal.

Or maybe they discovered a minor problem when doing the pre-delivery road test and had to sort it out. I wouldn't be too worried about 50.

 

2 miles.

 

The Dealer I bought mine from, had a Demo, so I do wonder sometimes why mine had 36 miles on it, though no big deal to me at all. I figure thats a few cycles and tests to make sure no idiot lights came on, and if they did, they did what it takes to get that resolved. So for me, it maybe a good thing.

 

3 miles - gas up and test drive by service to make sure it did not have an alignment issue due to being shipped. Those truckers torqe the chains on the truck and can mis-align a car. I asked them not to let anyone test drive it.

 

17 miles. And I made it a point when I was purchasing my first car to not get the one I sat in that had 48 miles on it. I guess I just didn't feel like it was as new . :lol: It didn't matter much though beacause I've driven it 5,500 miles and I've had it for 3 months. I remember the dealer telling me that the car is considered new all the way up to 1,000 miles! Scary... :|

 

18 miles (kinda like reaching adulthood, right?)

 

My Prius had TWO!

:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Before I ordered mine I saw a couple at 15 and one at 53 or something.

I have a Jeep that I bought 10 years ago with 101 miles on it. Best vehicle I ever owned.

I'd only get concerned if they rented it out to a couple of college kids over spring break or if they drove those 30 miles in reverse or with the parking break on.

It sounds like you have "buyers remorse" and are nit-picking over things.

:idea:

 

20

 

20 miles on mine.
I know it was out once for a test drive and I put at least 10 miles on it test driving it the same evening.
Got my Prius by accident you could say. . .
The car came in for for someone who had it on order and then backed out of the deal at the last minute. So I drove it home.

 

Ours had 5

 

My car had 8 miles on it, but as I bought it out of town I flew in to pick it up and the airport was I would guess 3-4 miles and the dealer picked me up at the airport and drove my new car out to pick me up.
