Question How many miles did your car have?
I've been lurking around the board as I impatiently wait for my car to arrive (hopefully this weekend - fingers crossed.)

Anyway.....how many miles did your car have on it when you took delivery? I'm curious to see what is average/acceptable.

Thanks!

3 different, and relatively recent, Mercedes. All came with less than 10 miles at the time of pickup.

Awaiting a new arrival...
110 on a specially ordered car...that the dealer claimed was never driven once it was rolled off the truck. Yeah, sure. I am still pissed about that.

Did the car have any kind of disclaimer on it? I have occasionally had to drive new cars at the factory (not M-B) to test before delivery to the dealer, but they are typically labeled with something along the lines of "This vehicle was chosen for testing blah blah blah..." and then we have to write in the mileage when we're done with it.

Point being a company may occasionally put miles on a new car before it even leaves the plant.

The VPC does random quality testing, but these cars usually have between 60 and 67 miles.

I was told it was one of these cars, but it did not have a sticker to prove it. My dealer, from whom my family has purchased new MBs for many years went to the level of complaining to MBUSA without any sort of communication back. It makes sense that it could be that way, as another nearly identical coupe had 90 miles on it, but it HAD the sticker mine should have had...
