What should i do?

[2006ser]

so im picking up my fist tomorrow from the ford dealer in porterville ca they delivered it from salinas ca which is 200.. my problem is somebody drove my new car for 200 miles. what can i do or what should i say to the dealer? the sales man i talked over the phone told me they drove the car...im kinda bummed out..

 

[degnerd]

Mine was driven up from Indiana to Wisconsin and had 180+ miles on it. I was bummed too. But then I realized it could have been a lot more.

 

[lonelysuperstar]

Wouldn't worry about it.

 

[2006ser]

fewwww ok guys thanks alot for the info i was about to go crazy at the dealership lol

 

[XuperXero]

Wow, lucky me to pick it up with only 13km on it... And I was bummed about that.

Yeh I guess if u didn't specify flat bed , ur hands are tied , prob would made u pay for it though surcharge transport

 

[TheGreenOne]

That's how almost all dealer trades happen. Deal with it.

 

[TruConspiracy]

If you dont mind me asking, what did u end up paying for ur fist? i was originally gonna buy from poterville but bought locally instead

I wouldn't worry about it, but I would say they were probably pretty hard miles. Especially with such a fun car and with the "It's not mine." mentality this world suffers from. Haha.

Good luck! [emoji106][emoji106] I got lucky mine had 20 miles when I took delivery, 17 were of my test drive lol.

 

[2006ser]

I paid 23k but was negative on my trade in and I got gap insurance

They told me a little old retired lady drove it back in valet mode.

I was a salesman at a dealership for a while, and I can tell you this probably isn't far from the truth. We had a white van that would show up to move our cars to other dealers, and 90% of the drivers were elderly, retired folks who are just making a little money to support their social security and what not. I watched one of these guys try and back a Nismo 350z out of a spot for like 10 minute. I have to go show him how to put the car in reverse. He had it in 6th gear.

 

[2006ser]

That gives me a piece of mind back hahah

 

[me32]

How else do you expect them to get the car from another dealer. If you dont want the miles then your gonna have to pay for the cost of shipping.

Thats a pretty good deal. i paid 22k after taxes with non recaro no moonroof and no nav. And that was with the x plan discount. i wouldnt stress too much about the dealer miles. i would assume the dealer would have strict guidelines during transport. just thoroughly check the car out when u get it. have fun! ive had mine 5 months and have already dumped over 3k in it

 

[2006ser]

I got the 0% apr 72 months with 1k cash back

Reverse problem in relation to a Z 6th gear......Man that sounds like a page out of my book!

I was sitting at my desk, watching this 350z rocking back and forth in the parking spot. At first I was like "wtf is this guy doing." Then it hit me that he was trying to reverse out of the spot in 6th gear.

It is kind of the price you pay for living in NoWhereVille.
The other option would have been to go into the BIG city and buy one.

That's how dealer trades work, man. Cars don't teleport from dealership to dealership
