i wasn't talking about the miles on the odo when you got the car. im talking about the miles they put on it and then reset the odo.

 

I dont think they can reset the odo legally.

 

i meant honda resetting it before delivery. unless you think that it rolls from the assembly line onto the boat onto the truck into the dealer.

 

7 - 16 miles is a lot! think about how far 16 miles is. I hardly think they spend the time to reset the thousands of cars they ship over to the states, or any country, just to remove a few miles.

 

They don't reset it. If they were going to go through the trouble of resetting it, your car would come with 0 miles. When they put the odometer in, then it reads 0. Then it does not get thouched after that.

Mine came with 7 miles right off the delivery truck that brought it to the dealer.

same here. mine gonna be around 40 miles since it came from a different dealership.

 

My S had 18 miles on it when I picked it out off the dealers back lot.... all of the other S's that they had on the main lot had been test driven to hell and back... rediculous, the Rio they had had 68 miles on it, and the Silverstone had like 80 or something, they had a Berlina, not sure on the mileage, but it had been sitting in the showroom for over a year and had the ugliest aftermarket chrome wheels on it. Completely unacceptable.

If the rio one had had lower mileage I probably would have ended up with a rio, but this was the lowest mileage one they had and I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR THAT DAY OR I WAS GOING TO DIE (my wife can attest to this).

And any regrets I begin to have on color selection melt away everytime I approach 8k or wind through a corner, it just doesn't matter, the car just wins your heart no matter what.

 

I think my car had 7 miles on it when I bought it.

 

Even domestic cars have 10-12 miles on them when they arrive at the dealers.....Got to admit, I've always wondered how big those holding/shipping lots must be to end up with that kind of milage.

Oh, and it is against the law to reset the odometers. Chrysler did that back in the 80's. Employees would drive brand new cars for a week or two, and then they would install a new odometer and sell it. They got caught and had to pay millions in fines. Look it up online for details, but I remember when it was in the news back then....
