KMs on your New car when you picked it up

Postby abc88 » Wed Aug 06, 2014 4:27 pm

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to know what the KM reading was when you went to pick up your new car.

Apparently mine is coming from 500KMs away, when the ports in Sydney are only 80KMs away.

Just wanted to make sure they're not driving the car from another branch and selling it to me as new (obviously ok if it was delivered on a truck).

Please share your KMs with me to use as a gauge :)

Thanks

I got mine second hand, third owner, car came from Queensland a few months before the second owner decided to sell it (as I found out looking at the papers).

Had 80,700 km on it when I test drove it, and when I got it on the day it had 80,705 on it (which was the distance I test drove). 10/10 seller didn't even touch it after I test drove it.

If they did rack a tad amount of KMs on it (more than you expect), check to see what they did to it I guess (if they did tints and whatnot).

9km @ Nundah - about 20ks from the Port of Brisbane, so got there by truck.

Personally I'd tell them to truck it in or shove it - 500ks is unacceptable...

Mine is from Wollongong so like ~15kms from Port Kembla. Not sure why they're getting one from 500KMs away. Probably why they didn't give me a cent discount, I assume the delivery fee wouldn't be cheap :(

Haha serious? I am not sure if you're bluffing :)

So seems like if the dealer gives me anything over 100kms there is certainly something wrong. Thanks all!
