And filling the tank with fuel during dealer prep.

Mine had about 9 miles at factory. Then about 10 miles were added between me dropping back off at factory (Euro delivery) and picking it up at the dealer here in US.

It felt like too many miles to me as well. I think the lowest I had was 3 miles at purchase, not P-car though.

My dealer told me up to 30 miles was normal. I think mine had 25 on the paperwork and showed up with 22. They do some testing and have to move the car around a bit. Did mine go for a test drive? Possibly but I can live with that.

10 miles on mine which I presume is from track testing at the factory. I thought all cars had a short road test.

I don't remember. I think it was about 10. Whatever it was, far less than the 8,000+ miles I've put on the car since last June! Just enjoy it.

I guess since I was got a custom build right from the factory I was hoping it would have under 10 miles on it, but it's not a big deal.

The main thing will be how it looks and drives once I get it. I'm really excited that I'll be driving it soon!
