Gee, it looks like I hold the record here. I had 29 miles on my car. The dealer had it for less than 24 hours.

Curious, but I can't say I'm really concerned.

I'm in the same boat...I had 25 miles on mine, so you still have me beat. I've often wondered where those miles could have came from, but I'm not worried. We could be the ones who had it "tested" at the factory. Hmmmm...

You guys are easing my pain so I'll reciprocate -- MINI-MadMan still has you two beat -- his car was subjected to over 35 miles of unsupervised joyriding!

Don't worry about a few miles.

The warranty starts when you buy it. Such a miniscule amount of miles won't make any difference at all when you consider the thousands of miles you will drive it.

If everything is in good order-- forget it and have fun.

Now if it had several hundred miles, you should expect a price discount.

Mine had 2 miles on it. I figured they must have picked it up and carried it around the dealers lot. My Dealer (Towson) had received a big shipment (two trucks) in early December and must not have had time to par-ty in my MCS.

Mine had 13 miles. I didn't really care since that's my lucky number. I figured it was a good sign. :smile: They told me they had to drive it a few miles to the tint place...oh well.
