71 miles on my special order. Showed up and next day I brought it home. Owner or someone must have taken it home. It didn't have one of those quality control letters in the glove box.

2.3 when arrived at the dealership. Then 19.7 when my salesman delivered it to my home where we did the paperwork.

11 miles, special order, and I had it put through all the extra quality inspections at the factory (FCPA, show car, etc.).

Management at the factories can pick vehicles to take home and write a review on it when they return it. Typically less than 40 miles.

My (relatively little) experience with new cars has been that there have only been 2 - 4 miles on the car when I bought it new. I see that some have had over 30 miles on their brand-new, special order vehicles, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
One way is if the car was selected for "road" testing at the factory. Those should come with documentation of that but dealers might not keep or give to buyers.

When I picked up mine, it had 156 miles and it was part of the dealer's stock. Must have been sitting in the lot for quite a bit.

Somewhere over 400 miles on my 2015 GT when I purchased it. The manufacturer date was 10/28/14 - so, it's a fairly early built 2015....originally sent to a dealer in Philadelphia, then sent to a dealer in Houston, then dealer traded to another Houston dealer, and finally, to the dealer where I purchased. Owner's manual had some hand writing in the margins on a few pages. No real idea what the deal was, but I am thinking somebody purchased the car, deal didn't work out, they had it for a few days, had to give it back and unwind their deal. Now, at 63,000 miles, the car is just fine, so who knows...

I'd expect 2018s to have less than 30 miles at this point. If you wait and grab a car that's nearing the end of the model year, or left over from the previous year, you can expect more miles.

I purchased a new car that had been on the lot for 8 months. It had 80 miles on it. The dealer took me for a 10 mile test drive when I showed up, so 80 miles seemed reasonable given the amount of time on the lot.

13,6 miles, when I picked up my EU 17 GT. Worst part was the 7 months wait from when I ordered it.
