No doubt they were harrassing you over your "hondacivic" handle!

Mine had 21.

Mine had 27 and dealer said no one took any test drives. Maybe someone had fun at the VPC.

>>Like I said before...37. Com'on, is this an ugly joke you all are playing on me? "Let Miniature take the cake for 'most abused and used' MINI before making it home!"---I can just hear you all saying this behind my back.
>>
>>Miniature


How did you hear us letting you take the cake ?

No seriously, 37 is not allot of miles if you bought it off the lot! Miles add up fast getting it washed every day to keep it perfect. One speck and once again it's driven around to the car wash. Also each time a customer calls and asks about a car in that color, the sales manager could easily offer to "drive it by and let you see it". So off the lot it goes to "show off" to some attorney or school teacher. Each time it leaves the lot, He gets to talk to people about it and say he's looking for an owner for it. Then add the miles for the state inspection and tinting of the windows and you easily have 37. . .

I do wonder where Hondacivic's dealership came up with 300 on his brand new car?
I wonder if they had an out of town customer saying they wanted it and they drove it over for delivery and was told NO ?

If so ... Hondacivic is one lucky devil to get a car without the wait because on delivery the original owner said no. I've heard it happened at my dealership, a lady didn't get the trade in amount she wanted so insted of trying to sell her car, she told MINI to keep their MINI. 2 days later they sold it to some lucky devil who was asking to order a car with those same colors. He got all 3 packages, which was great because he wanted 1 & 2.

Mine had 4, but most here have 10 or 11 by the time they are P.D.I.ed and go for gas.

I had 15 on the odometer, but signed for 22 on the odometer disclosure paperwork. The dealer maybe just writes 22 on all of the forms assuming that none of their cars get over that.

My paperwork said 16 but the odometer read 22 on December 19th. I picked the car up on the first day of a 2 week vacation. As of today it has 1137. Is that bad?

Mine had.....

But then again, mine was pre-owned (but I still love it). Can anyone beat that?

My paperwork said 11, car had 8 actual miles. 3 days later I was over 2500. You must have really gone coast to coast - I only had to go 2/3 of the way for mine. Over 20k now though.

>>1137 isn't bad at all. I added 3400 miles in 4 days right after delivery of the car, which only had 20 miles at the time.

You're right! :smile: I drove from OH to Los Angeles to OR in 4 day. It was a good chance for me to get acquainted with my baby.
