Default New Car Question

When you buy a brand new car, how many kms should it have if it was never test driven?

Thanks

never seen more than 13 on any of mine. and you'll probably never see less than 5 as every car is test driven about that before it ships.

Not sure, when I went to look at it, they wouldn't let me drive it. I had to test drive a different one, so I assume not. But I am not sure where else 58km's would come from. I never did ask. I wouldn't be too concerned with 52km's personally.

Edit- I will say though, the one thing that bugs me is the way salesmen and mechanics drive the out of new vehicle. Constantly beating them around corners and speeding excessively when they are not even broken in yet bothers me.

###. I worked as car jockey/lot attendant for a Honda dealership when I was in college. The salesman back then were brutaly hard on the demos they were driving. They taught me at the time how to squak the tires in all 4 gears while shifting. To this day I will never buy a demo from any dealership.
