Go to dealer to look at a "New" Car

Do you know that all the miles on the odometer before the car is handed to the customer got reset back to 0 since the car is in "dealership mode"?

Pic related was my car once it arrived at the dealership, the odometer reads 6,2 km, you also can see exposed fuses and a message state (TRA 12_7I/) which basically says the onboard computer is not finalized yet.

My car did more than 6,2 km before leaving the production plant, then they reset the odometer and it started counting since they moved the car on the truck, then on the parking lot, a truck again and at the dealership.

I read that at Lexus they test drive every single car for a fixed amount of km on their special test track to be sure everything is ok, from the engine to the suspension...If I remember correctly it was something like 20 km.

you're thinking of dominicans. lazy bastards do nothing but sit around and smoke hookah while drinking their shitty presidente beer

That might be the case in Europe, but I've never seen a car in the US be at 0 miles. I don't think that's legal here.

how is that legal? like wtf i know it a couple miles but thats not right

Dad bought a new car once that they drove 300km from another dealership to get the options he/we wanted

I probably explained myself badly.

This is what happens:

>the new car is at the end of the production line at the factory and everything has been mounted
>a technician drives the car on the production plant test track to ensure everything is ok
>all the miles driven up to this point (a very low amount like 5-10 km) gets reset to 0
>from now on the odometer will regularly work
>the car is now driven to the parking lot waiting for a truck to pick it up and ship it to the dealer
>the car is given to the customer displaying every single km it did since when it left the factory after the quality control test drive

My car in fact was given to me with 6,5 km since it moved inside the dealership building.

>Dominicans
>Puerto Ricans
theres a difference?

Mom bought new car with 500 miles on it.

>Tfw drive to the dealership at sunset to windowshop.

>Nobody there but another guy

>We both admire the new 2017 Tundra and chit chat.

>Tfw so theraputic and relaxing looking at a brand new, non rusted, absolutely clean Toyota truck frames.
