I was just thinking, can you REFUSE delivery, if it has lots of KM?

I'll use my sister's reading, it had 96.4km? She doesn't care, it's hers but I just wanted to know.

My last to cars I bought had less than 30km, I think my '02 Acura RSX had only 7km. It's been said these cars are hard to find/get hold of.

This all depends on how those miles have been accumulated.

This is what i have learned from teh INTERNET... If the car has been used as a test drive car then i wouldnt buy it. People who test drive are often hard on the car and for the first 3750 miles this car needs to be treated gently...If the miles are from driving from one dealer to another usually by old retired guys driving below the speed limit then it shoudl be ok.soemtimes the manager or salesperson uses a car for demos and such and I wouldnt buy these either.

My car had 155 miles on it all from dealer to dealer driving (came of the truck and was driven to my dealer).

Most ppl i know dont mind under 200-300 miles on a new car.

It depends on the situation. Obviously if the car is roaded in from a dealer transfer, its going to have miles. I've heard as a rule, if the vehicle is delivered on a truck, it should have less then 7 miles on it (factory order).

Mine had 4.9

Bembol, if this vehicle was delivered from another nearby dealer and it has miles on it because of this than I believe it to be justifiable. If she purchased a demo or test drive car than I simply wouldn't have purchased it to begin with. These miles were put on the vehicle by a slew of people and would make me uneasy of how the car was treated. This is just me, I'm fairly picky and protective of how a car is before I purchase it. Who isn't when your dropping all that money?

It's my sister, I told her the KM reading and she didn't say a word.

I was told my Satin White is coming off the Truck when I pick it up this Wednesday and I'm just wondering do I refuse the delivery.

I read post from the link above. This Coupe is hard to get hold of. I guess I should've asked but really, is he going to tell me the truth...then again he did Blessed the car.

This is a sweet ride, I was playing with the Voice Command/Bluetooth. I left a Message/Memo for my brother. LOL

I remember when I pre-ordered mine, my dealer said it was mine as soon as it rolled off the truck and I could accept it or reject it...

Here in Hawaii, the car isn't "officially" yours UNTIL you actually take delivery and drive it off the lot. You can go through the whole process, hop in the car, and drive to the front gate. As long as you don't drive off premises, the car isn't yours. You can refuse to take delivery and the dealership can't do anything about it. That's according to my friend who is a manager at a local Ford dealership. I would check your local laws about the subject.
