AMG - Acceptable miles on a new car

Hello-

Im new here-

My question is how many miles say within a range does the average AMG car have when its purchased new from a dealer?

The car Im buying is a 2019 AMG . The salesman told me that AMG puts miles on cars to test them prior to being delivered to the dealership-

When I asked a service advisor he told me that he thought AMG testing was done on a dyno not driving the car-

The new car had 109 miles- seems high to me -

I'm not worried since its a new car but I would like to know the facts on this-

Most new cars I have bought had had 20-30 miles at the very most-

Can someone please enlighten me on this?

Thanks

I wouldn't stress about 100 miles. Heck, 5-10 test drives and you hit 100 miles around here.

That would still "turn" the odometer.

One hundred miles isn't much, IMHO.

You could put it on jacks and run it in reverse to take the miles off a la Ferris Beuller. ��

I doubt that works with anything other than a completely mechanical speedometer/odometer. Which recent MBs do not have.

I was trying to be funny. Doesn't work on mechanical odometers either (at least not on the Ferrari 250GT California's mechanical odometer in the movie).
