how many miles were on your MINI when you took delivery?

we should be picking our MINI up this week and i am curious about how many miles it will have on it. it was a new order. theoretically it should only have a few miles on it. i'm sure they drive it on and off transports, drive it to various checkpoints at the VDC, etc.

the thing that got me wondering was a post i read (can't find it now) where the poster said her new MINI had 14 miles on it. is that alot?

another thing... if we are all ordering our MINIs new and it is very rare to go to a dealer and just buy one off the lot. whose MINIs are we test-driving when we go to a dealership? i know when we went to test drive a car once, the MA had to pull the plastic off the seats and everything. the car was brand spanking new...

just curious..

thanks & happy motoring!

I think ours had 6-8 miles on it. I think I want them to drive it before I take it home. those cars we drive for test drives are sold like they are new. I almost bought BRG/W one I liked, but we couldn't strike a deal for a trade in.

No, no discount because it has 1-200 miles on it.

 

3 miles and I purchased mine off lot. I was able to find an MC with exactly what I wanted on it. I was lucky!

 

That is a fallacious assumption. Just because many ppl order them, that all depends upon where you live. We have three local dealers and I would bet there are 150 cars sitting on the lots between all three right now. This all depends upon where you live and the market.

Whos car are you test driving, ... one of those on the lot!

 

When doing the purchase and sale before my MINI got to the dealership, I had to sign a paper that said it was OK to have up to 25 miles on my MINI. That seems like a lot! But the sales guy assured me no one could use it for a test drive at the dealership--that would just be if someone at the VDC decided it needed an "extended test" for quality control purposes.

I can just imagine--"Hey, here's a sexy one. I think it must need an 'extended test'--don't you?"

EDIT: Hey, this post brought me to 3rd gear!

 

11 for me.

 

16. - someone was slutting out my mini before i got it :(

 

6 miles

 

think mine had like 15 miles on it when i bought it.

 

11 for me.

 

Mine had 10. The dealer noted that it could have up to 15. This is because of the various transporting around factories, dock sides, on and off the ship, dealer test drive and filling it up with gas, etc.
