70miles on mine. It's considered "new" and not a demo car if the car is less
than 80miles in IL. I wasn't particulary happy with it, but hell, it's running great
and it was the only coupe in my area that had the specs I wanted. (was hard to
find a 6MT without the rear spoiler and nav around here).

If a WRX or Evo8 had 70miles on it I would be kinda worried, but not on this car.

I bought mine new with 126 miles, I know it's alot of miles for a new one. Im the first owner and not too sure why so many miles. I was desperate in getting this car, so I went for it.

BTW, in 86, my parents bought a red Supra with 150 miles on it. It now has 200k+ and never had an engine problem (still has original transmission). I guess break-in theory didn't apply

12 on mine, and I was there when it arrived at the dealership.

Not that its a lot, but it does make you wonder how those 12 miles got on there. You would think the only place the car would be driven would be from the factory production line to the factory parking lot, then loaded to a truck, then offloaded from the truck to wait at a shipping port parking lot, then driven onto the ship, then driven off the ship and onto a delivery truck to the dealership. I can't see all that loading and unloading being more than a mile or two combined. Then figure 2 or 3 miles for the dealership to drive it to/from the gas station to fill it up, and that should be it.

9 on mine. Was offered (with not that good of a discount to go for it) one with 1,400 (that's what I have now ), but dealer didn't even hide that it was a demo.

My car was ordered and had 24 miles when I purchased. We're a port city where they arrive and vehicle was driven from there by dealer to showroom. That and the PDI/gas fill up make sense on the 24 miles.

My car had 58 which was probably from test drives which was probably my fault because I was on vacation and the car sat at the dealer for a week before I picked it up. So I'm sure it went on a couple of test drives..those bastards!!

That’s funny, when I went out to test-drive a G to a local dealer; I was telling him that I wouldn’t notice the performance because the car wasn’t broken in. After getting back I said that I’m taking my words back. And inside was hoping dealer won’t notice the burning smell. DO NOT buy that car

Heh…

So, I guess, that makes me on of those “bastards”

Had 3 miles on it when I got mine. The dealer took off all the plastics and stuff before I got there and they just washed and prepped it for me. Now I have around 26k and loving every mile of it.
