I am looking at a new Z06, but it has over 150 miles on it. why would a car have that many miles on it if it was new? Something I should worry about? Thanks.

Yes, this one raises questions.

How long has it been on the lot?

Who has driven it and how did they drive it?

Give it a good inspection.

Everybody on the lot from the janitor to the owner wants to drive the Z06 . Seems as though this may be a demo car. This should give you some negotiating power. jerboa [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

They can put up to 80 miles on one at the factory and still deliver it as new, ask the dealer where the miles came from.

I've seen a lot of dealer cars that were "NEW" that also had as many as 250 miles on them. A lot of so-called customers come in and test-drive the Z06, and most of them do not know how to shift well. So, if you want to take the chance, go ahead.

What kind of a deal is being offered to you?

I'm sure the first 150 miles were driven easy and they stuck to the breakin procedure. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] YEAH RIGHT!! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

On every single test drive that I have taken, all of the salesmen have told me to NAIL THE SON OF A BITCH, even when test driving a new 02' Cadillac Escalade, now I don't know if the salesmen that took that Z06 out would have accelerated this high end and high performance sports cars.
