Not neccessarily, I've seen quite a few vehicles on dealer lots categorized as new still with lots of mileage. They really only have to call it a "demonstrator" if they've registered it as such.If they haven't sold it yet, it doesn't really matter. It's going to be sold as a "demo" car because it will have over 100 miles on it anyway. I also guarantee that engine won't burn any oil once they're done with it, lmao.
Quoted from Edmunds:
" Car dealerships use demo cars for test drives when popular new models are in short supply, explains Chris Cutright, a former car salesman. Often, the dealership's managers also use demo cars for commuting. However, dealers do not always register demo cars, so the vehicles may still be considered new, even with the added mileage. When their dealership duties are over, the cars go up for sale with between 1,000 and 3,000 miles on their odometers. "
It appears it's still "buyer beware" when buying a "new" car with mileage.
