New car odometer
Mine also had to be driven down to Atlanta from a dealership in North Carolina. It arrived with 263 miles on the odometer.
Of course, I crawled all over the entire car looking for any evidence of rock chips, but didn't find any. They'd driven it with the plastic still on.

A new car shouldn't have more than 10miles for me.
Before my S I had a 04 vbp Si ep3 that I bought new off the showroom and it had 43 miles on it. The dealer said that on top of the usual testing honda does they did theyre own tresting on IT. they had another just like it with like 12 miles on it but itwas on the showroom floor...hehe
Is it really matters? WTF, don't be too picky. If I can find a 2007 silverstone with black-red interior, I would pick it even if it has 50+ miles on it. Black-reds are pretty rare and hard to find, so if one of them is that color pick it. BTW, I would pick a car, new car, based on its color than its milage.
Q: How many miles should a new car have on it?
A: New vehicles usually arrive at the dealership from the factory with approximately 3 to 7 miles on them. If you see a new car or truck with that few miles on the odometer, then you can assume that it probably has not been test-driven yet. Most new vehicles, however, are subjected to numerous test drives and that puts mileage on their odometers. It is not uncommon for new vehicles to have logged upwards of 100 miles in test drives. And in some cases, a new vehicle may have up to several hundred miles on the odometer if it has been driven to the dealership from another dealership in a nearby town. On a new vehicle is considered reasonable "test drive" mileage and is not a valid reason to negotiate the price down.

I decided to take the one with 15.3 miles, silverstone with black interior. Since the `08 coming out this could be lowest mileage `07 silver in the town. Actually i was looking for GPW with red and black interior, but it's too hard to find one now, i give up.
Look, 15.3 miles or 300 miles, what difference does it make? I can abuse a car within a 3 miles of distance. I can wear out the clutch within 1 mile. That's why you have warranty on new cars. As I stated, I would get a car, new car only, based on its color, but that's just me. Good luck. BTW, post pics or vids when you get that car.
