Miles on new car at dealer
Hi MB world
I am buying a new 2019 C43 AMG. The dealer found a car with the options I wanted. However, the car has 130 miles on it. I found it on MBUSA website listed as new. Should I be concerned about the miles on the new car? I didn’t get a straight answer why the car has miles on it. Just looking for some expert opinions if the car could be roughed around?
Thanks

Just test drives, I'm sure they didn't baby it by any means during those drives if that's a deciding factor for you, but it'll have the new warranty either way. Enjoy! .

Did you agree to a purchase price before you knew about the 130 miles? If so, I'd say it would be reasonable to ask them to get you a car with only normal pre-delivery miles (15-20?), or to adjust the price downward about $500 to compensate. While the car itself is probably fine, the 130 miles certainly reduces its value somewhat.

Thanks all. We had negotiated 11.5% discount prior to his vehicle for another C43. However, they couldn’t get the one we had negotiated and this was the only one left with the same options, they are honoring the same 11.5% discount. They did call me to tell it has miles on it but refused to discount further.

That's really not a lot of miles, a few test drives, you can tell from the window sticker if the car was originally delivered to that dealer originally. I've taken cars on extended test drives and put that many miles on them, some I ended up buying and others I didn't. And I never abused them, maybe drove hard because that's what I do, but not abused. Yes you lost those miles from the 48,000 mile warranty but that's not worth haggling over. If it's equipped the way you want then a few miles is not worth not getting the car in my opinion.

Truthfully speaking, the second a dealer let’s you get behind the wheel of the car, the test drive is entirely in your hands. The dealer is helpless in that regard.
