My GT3 completed production on 5/4 and I am told it has not shipped yet. How many miles should the car have on it when delivered to the dealer? I live over 3 hours away from the dealer and I just dont want them to have it for a week before they tell me it arrives and have some joy rides in it

 

Mine had 14.

 

Mine had 37 km.

 

4 miles.

 

6 miles

 

You might get lucky. Mine was completed on the same day and is going on the ship today.

 

SWEET. So you think first week of June arrival?

So If the car has over 20 miles when I get to the dealer is it fair to say I can raise hell

 

4.

Then the dealer put 1 mile on it during PDI process so it could be inspected a per OBDII inspection requirements.

 

Depending where you are, my dealer reports the ship goes to Baltimore, MD and then Brunswick, GA. Scheduled to arrive in GA on or about the 25th. Has to clear customs and then get on a truck. All these things are variable and subject to change. I'm trying no to be too paranoid about the whole thing, but....

 

It should roll off the truck at the dealer with about 5 miles, as noted, but once the PDI is done, it will have another ten, then they'll drive it to the local station for that first "free" tank of gas.

Anything over about 25 would be questionable.

I'm told if the car (like a Carrera or Cayenne for example) has the "log book" option, it will show every start and stop -- I wonder if that is recorded before it's PDI'd.

As for the age old fear of your oh-so-special car being the joy ride of choice, that might be a risk at a Ford dealer getting a GT or a Chev dealer with a Z06 in its latest form, but a GT3 at a Porsche dealer is no longer the "wow" factor and the dealership is a business where the liability of the joy ride has long since been stopped. The most that ever happens is a customer getting a passenger ride after the PDI.

As long as you identify this concern with the dealer, they'll be careful. I just make a point of repeating all the instructions to everyone and I coordinate with the sales guy to be there when the truck arrives (Intercity is very good at calling ahead) so the dealer is very clear that you're not going to be happy with an excessive number on the odo.

 

+1

Mine had 14 miles

 

I agree about 12.

 

I believe that mine had 6 miles. It also arrived at my dealer 15 days after it was built which seemed to be some sort of record. I guess that the stars were aligned perfectly.

 

4 miles on my TT. My GT3 should theoretically have 0 when I pick it up at the factory
