Acceptable delivery mileage

[sjtb]

Mines coming from carselect, id expect max of 5 miles? Am I being too optimistic??



Si.

 

[JillyB]

yes

my 2 news cars have had 6 and 13 on them.

 

[CocoPops]

I had 11 on my 182

 

[lifelong 172]

Expect between 7 and 15 miles on the delivery mileage on all new cars from renault. They all take the same route ish.......

 

[Turkish]

id say any more than 25/30 and i would be asking questions.

 

[iceblue182]

23 on mine

 

[sjtb]

[lifelong 172]

Unfortunately not, its a questionable black 172.

Good choice

 

[sjtb]

hehe, BLACK! (remember that weirdo painter in the fast show?)

23!! im asking Carselect to tell the dealer not to use my car as a run around while it sits at the dealer for a couple of weeks

my work colleague took delivery of her brand new porsche with 350 miles on the clock !!!! - they drove it from the dealership which was the only one in the country that could supply the spec she required. You would have thought theyd have sent it on a transporter eh ?

 

[Lee]

I think my 182 had 11 and my 172 had 7.

 

[blink172]

My 172 had 8 miles and my sisters dynamique had 4 on it

 

[Day]

Carselect are in Birmingham right?

I got mine used but various people had test driven it before me.

 

[sjtb]

appears they like a little play with before they hand customers cars over!!

 

[blink172]

Remember they get moved around, must have some sort of shake down drive and then get moved around the docks (Read thrashed from cold) when they sort out the alarm etc....

 

[sjtb]

yeah thrashed from cold is terrible, but it must happen to everyone

 

[stu8v]

AFAIK the dealers are able to reset it to zero should they want.

 

[Pete]

20 miles on it would be pushing it, mine had 7 on it IIRC

Paid a visit to the BMW import centre over on the east coast when I was at Uni. You should have seen the speeds (and apparent disregard) with the unloading of Beemers from the ship. Brand new M3s with scallies at the wheel....... yikes...

Oh, and my car had 7 miles on the clock when I picked it up as well.

to be fair they actually did test mine quite a bit - people from work saw it around town (I was blissfully unaware - away on holiday). Anyhow it paid off - no niggles at all.

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

I had less than 10 miles on mine. Cant really remember now to be honest.

 

[Louise]

both my old and current Dynamiques had 7 miles on each. One from Renault Birmingham, and this one from Renault Romford.

 

[gazcaddy]

mine had 12 miles on it

 

[Bryan]

7 miles on my old clio

dealer said it was an average figure when i was talknig to him about it

 

[Clio1400]

I cant remember exactly but IIRC it was about 10 miles on my Dynamique.

 

[markh]

nah id want to drive it for the whole 350 miles!!, but from a customer point of view i would want it delivered by truck, or go pick it up personaly

 

[Vegeta]

Mine had about 20 kms on it. Wanted a black one, the could not find black anywhere, so had to settle for Platinum...

 

[caymanr26]

When I picked my 172 up from Renault it has 42 miles on it - When I questioned it the salesman told me that they are allowed to sell a car as new with anything up to 50 miles on it. I was not very happy about it and made a bit of a fuss but they really did not care - all they told me is that the car had been taken from one dealership to another - bet some young scally had a great time!!!

 

[newbe# old 172]

my 172 had 7 miles on it when i picked it up from Tins, get my 182 on Monday fingers crossed so will have to wait and see. Comming from Exeter via carselect so better be on a trailer
