Mileage when you left the dealer?

Meh. You will spend the first half of the drive trying to figure out how to shift with your right hand so there is little damage you could do.

Are you kidding me, I can do plenty of damage trying to get accustomed to driving on the "wrong side" using a stick shift.

That's plural...dealerships... It didn't really matter where you worked, because the same thing happened everywhere.

And yes, both places are still in business and doing quite well.

Not all dealerships are same. The dude in dealership is my friend. He works for subaru and toyota for a long time and they never did any abuse to any car. He promised me, he will pill off all the stickers in-front of me and he did. In New Zealand all cars require compliance as soon as off loaded from ship. In that time, it had 5KM on clock and the time I collected, it had 7KM.

Our roads are much wider than what you deal with over there. A little 86 will give you plenty of lane to play around with.

Going from our roads to yours was a bitch. Belfast Ireland to be specific. MPH and vague ass speed limits once I hit the northern coast.

Mine had 3 miles on it as, like @Dadhawk, it was one of the "First 86" cars, so it didn't have any test drives on it.

Try driving a 5 ton army truck though some of those European roads. They are no better in Germany!

I saw tour buses doing the same drive and I can't understand how they fit. A 5 ton must be about the same, maybe not as long but taller.

Some parts of the road weren't even wide enough for two small cars let alone a bus.
