Mine averaged about 8 miles

On the MB's I have bought none more than 11 miles.

Other makes have had up to 22 or so, but there is no reason for a car "off the truck" to have more than this. I have heard about MB picking random cars at the arrival port for testing and these can rack up 50 or so, but I have only heard this and never experienced it.

do mercs have a dealer reset button..

all vw/audi do so they can reset the milage to 0 before delivery? but they susually leave a few miles showing ( i only know this as my friend is sales mgr for my local vw dealer...)

to be fair... the reset "button" will only work within first 30 miles

i assume its a software fix rather than a hidden button

I had 48 miles on my 55 and a slip from AMG saying they pulled the car for a random check.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE MILES AND THE RANDOM CHECK THAT COULD HAPPEN ON THE CAR BEFORE I RECIEVE IT.
