Just like the title says, how many miles were on the car when you bought it? & was it an order you put in or bought off the lot?
 
I bought my 5BW off the lot with 15 miles on it a few days after my test drive. I think it had about 5 miles on it when I test drove it.
 
^^^Same exact for me.

When I first sat in the car, I saw 53 miles and my heart sank, but that was the remaining fuel range.
 
Ordered. 4 miles.
 
Same 4 miles; I guess that's the standard it takes to move it off the line and around the lot of doom in Michigan?
 
Ordered cars that have NOT been joyridden by the dealer will have 3-4 miles on them. They can also be randomly selected for an extended quality check, and that's where you'll see 38-40 miles on them instead. Nothing you can do about that; it's the factory doing that at random.

I was surprised by the low mileage. I thought they had to do some testing on these cars before they shipped them. I've ordered a truck and car before, both came with 7 miles on the odometer.
 
9 miles when I test drove it. They weren’t going to let me drive it, but I assured them that I would never buy a car I haven’t driven, and I’d find another dealership. In retrospect, I should have given the paint issues that I discovered later…
 
5 miles on mine. Ordered by someone that backed out of the purchase. It had been on the dealers lot for only 4 days. It wouldn't have lasted thru the weekend. I was the lucky one to snag it. Had it washed and ready for me to test drive when I arrived.

Purchased off the lot, 14 miles.

Edited, wrote the above line before looking at all the previous posts. Higher mileage than others, ick.

Shouldn't whine I guess, the car runs beautifully at just under 11K miles, zero oil consumption
 
6 after dealer filled the tank and loaded for transport
 
I bought a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 pickup right off the dealership show room floor. I picked it up and was driving it home at night and then i looked at the odometer and it had close to 400 miles on it !! I didn't really pay attention when I first looked the car over. Then I looked at the window sticker and saw that the car was delivered to a Rochester NY dealer and then most likely driven in a trade with my Long Island dealer.
It really was no big deal for me. Paid $43k out the door and then sold it 3.5 years later for $40 k !! COVID time was a good time to sell a car !
