Mine was parked here when I got her. She had like 10km on it as they drove it to the tint/ceramic place and back but that was it.

Mine had 26 miles on it when I picked it up and it was my special order. I'm sure the dealer put most of that on it before I took it home.

Mine was on the showroom floor. It had about 80 miles on it. It was the only GT they had in stock (new anyway) so I figure it got taken out a couple of times for a test drive. The normal track they take is about 10 miles. If it had been a manual I would have had a problem with the 80 miles since hardly anybody knows how to drive a manual anymore, since its a 10 auto I wasn't worried too much.

Sometimes they will pull a car off the line and drive it on the track approximately 25 miles for random quality control checks. When this happens, Ford will put a sticker on one the car's windows stating this.
Do you know what this sticker looks like ?

Cheers,

IIRC it's about 2 or 3 inches square and reads something like This vehicle was chosen for quality control and driven ___ miles. The actual miles were handwritten. I think it also said something about not affecting the warranty mileage.

Mine had over 40. Last new manual 2021 GT in the Houston area. Digital gauge was set to the Track display setting. Abused by the dealer no doubt.

I believe that Ford runs the cars on a dyno in the plant during final assembly based on several videos we have seen. Could be a few miles added as the various systems are checked out.

I work at the dealership where I ordered mine and saw her get unloaded from the transporter on Tuesday June 7 - 2.8 miles. I had her PDI'd then I seated/bedded the brakes. I let our wash rack only wash her then I ceramic/graphened her on Saturday and "cure" until my BDay on Tuesday the 14th. She had 9 miles on delivery.

So the factory delivered it with 2.8 miles, then it acquired another 6.2 miles just by sitting at the dealership? What did they do with it?

Mine had 15 miles....but those were put on for testing after the Roush supercharger install. I drove it 650 miles home from the dealership.

All my new cars have had miles on them - My 2001 Focus had 160 miles on it, my 2004 Mustang had a couple hundred I think...but it had been on the lot for 8 months...my 2013 Mustang had around 600, but it was a dealer trade, so, they went and picked it up for me, that's where I think all but about 20 came from. My 2013 F150 was low - I think like 8 or 10 miles on the ODO...my 2014 Mustang was another one that showed up with 500-600 miles on it due to being a dealer trade. My 2015 Mustang had a few hundred as well, but I think somebody bought that car and lost financing after a week or so and had to give it back. Both my 18 and 19 Escape had probably 5 to 10 miles on them...my current 2021 GT had TWO miles on the ODO - I took it on a five mile test drive, and bought it a week later with 7 or 8 miles on the ODO....
