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.
Another reason the vehicles have miles on them is the dynamic station on the roll test machines at the factories where each vehicle is driven on rollers and the powertrain is tested/verified.

Don't remember exactly but when I bought my Ruby Red Ecoboost two years ago off the lot, I believe it had like 17 miles, I think that includes the test drive I took in it which was 5 or 6 miles.

My 13 GT that I ordered arrived with 57 miles. Came with paperwork from Ford stating quality control tests were performed at the plant.

Mine had 33miles when I first looked at the car and 43 miles when I did the paperwork. And it now has close to 100 miles on it.

4 miles with a build date of like 2 weeks before. Everything covered no test drive. Bought it through fleet sales and it was on the lot so I looked it over then went inside and bought it. The guy asked me if I wanted to pick it up after lunch. I had to get rid of my old car so told him tomorrow morning. Went to the garage where my car with the problematic LT1 motor was, made him offer he could not refuse (he ran to the bank literally) and all was done by noon.

By the way, up here they make you sign a form that states the car had under 15 klm when you pick it up. Maybe that is the window for what they consider new and not a demo. I didn’t know the mileage at the time but after they gassed it up down the street it had 4 so literally untouched by human hands.


Yes guys - Fleet Sales. I am a sinner... :eek:

Where did you get your ceramic done?

I realize that this is about special/custom orders, however my last two leases were off the lot:
2013 GT Premium - 7.6 miles when papers signed
2016 GT Premium - 33.2 miles when papers signed

I’ve seen cars still advertised as “new” with 200-300+ miles on them from all the test drives and sales associates using them... at that point they should be extremely discounted or counted as used imo :p

I have had different odometer readings on the various new, custom ordered, vehicles I have bought over the years.

Sometimes, the vehicle was randomly picked for additional testing at the factory.

Sometimes, the salesperson takes it home to ensure everything is working right (yea, sure, he just wanted to put a high performance car thru its paces).

All I insist, is that the tank is full when I sign the papers.
