TomCh Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hello, I just took delivery on a new IS 250, 6 speed manual a couple of days ago. When I took delivery, I noticed that the mileage on the new car was 35. I thought it was rather high or is this just about right? Can you please share the mileage on the car when you first bought your car? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 9 miles - but I wouldn't worry about it - they may have had it driven over to their lot as a trade from another lexus dealer.

I just bought mine on Saturday and the mileage was 24, it was driven over from a different dealership...I have always heard under 45 is about normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djspawn00 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 mine had about 40..000 when i left the lot... but it felt like it only had 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzboy7 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Mine had 24 also. But I had to add 60+ to get it home. Oooooo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightshade Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 mine only had 7 since I skipped dealer prep, 35 would certainly be reasonable if it was driven from a dealership in the next town or something... any further away it would've been trucked though. It's certainly also possible yours was test driven a time or two by someone else before you bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sktn77a Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 People test drives new cars from the lot now - "demonstrators" are a thing of the past. I guess, depending on the turnover of the dealer's inventory and the appeal of each vehicle, a car could get a couple of hundred miles put on it before it sells. (EDIT: Mine had 70 miles on it when I picked it up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Law Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 When the out-of-state dealer sent me the odometer statement to sign (like I really had a chance to look at it ) it said 14 miles. When I took delivery, it had 24 miles. Someone drove it a little, maybe as part of dealer prep, a quick test, or a curious transport driver.

Surrender Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 My Lexus had 9 miles on it and it was still covered in dirt from the transport truck. So my guess is someone (or some people) took it for a test drive and then decided against getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
