Now I was assuming that he would be trucking it over to his dealership but instead he had it driven over. Thats 1 hr and 60 miles with some other person then me driving my 30K purchase. Should i be upset about this or is this a normal thing? Im assuming they are a professional transport service but still, how do i know that those werent 60 miles of hard driving. Let me know what you guys think because its stressing me out. |
It's really not that big a deal. You would be very hard pressed to find *any* new car for sale with literally 0 miles on it, especially when it's a model that most dealers only got a few of. They're going to get driven. My FRS had 51 miles on it when I picked it up.
It's unlikely that those are a hard-driven 60 miles, and even if they are who cares? That's what your warranty is for. I'm all for taking good care of your vehicles but people act like these things are Ferraris or something. They are cheap, they are replaceable, they are easy to work on, and I'm guessing that in a few years there will be zillions of them all over the place. There's no point in treating one like a garage queen.
They seem pretty resilient. I daily mine and honestly beat the hell out of it, plus about a dozen autocross weekends since last summer and haven't broken anything yet. I sidestep the clutch at autocross, too, because fuckit/racecar.
