New Corolla mileage

[ikolenchenko]

What mileage is usually on new car in dealership?
I saw 58 km, on brand new car.
Dealer told me up to 100km is ok.

I'd say up to 100km is okay as new. But for the past 4 - 5 new cars my parent's and kinda recently me [april 2010] got all our new cars with 10km on the odo or less on day of pick up ... I had 5km on day of pick up ... It was 2km but I test drove that car I bought since it literally just cam off the truck when I came in to get a Corolla [2010]

Yeah, that's fine. Probably just meant it was driven between a dealer or something. Mine had over 120 miles on it when I got it, but that's because they had to drive up my MGM from another city because they didn't have one in my area

As emptyminded42 says, no problem. They had to drive mine from a neighboring town and it had 72 miles on it when I picked it up. If they have to get what you want from another dealer, it's going to have some mileage on it.

Believe it or not, mine had 0 miles on it, i drove it off straight from their supply area. When i got home it only had 8 miles on it. I was the very first person to even drive the car. Now its got like 14600 in 8 months

Mine was the same way, had less than 1 mile on it & still showed "0" on the odometer. I took it for a drive & than bought it.

^^^ it IS a corolla after all....maybe someone drove a million miles right before you picked it up haha

million miles....if it was a 9th gen the odo only goes up to 299,999...and then stops, hopefully they fixed that issue with 10th gens

I think this is not even an issue coz nothing matters anymore if you really ever keep your car till 299999 IMO

I'm surprised they didnt just tow it.. 120miles is a lot hopefully they gave you a good discount..

10 km. Tops.

Specify it in the contract or else don't take delivery.

That's what I did.

Having a few miles on it when you buy it is meaningless. Many vehicles are traded between dealers to obtain a specific color / option level / etc. Your warranty begins when the vehicle is delivered to you.

I would NOT buy a vehicle with 0 miles on it. Vehicles do not come from the factory with everything perfectly topped off and checked. Every manufacturer requires a PDI (pre delivery inspection) that includes a few miles of test driving and a pretty extensive inspection of the vehicle. 0 miles would indicate that they did not do their job.

Every car should have at least around 10km if they did a proper PDI on it. Anything less than about 100km is perfectly fine, though it does mean it was driven around a bit, I'd rather have under 50km if I could help it.

My 2009 XRS had about 50km on it when I bought it, my IS250 had 8km on it.

Thank you to all.
It's good to know how many km could be on your new car.
