How many miles is appropriate for a car ordered to spec? My 2010 PDK cab will be here shortly, and I don't want the dealer breaking it in with some launch starts ala Ferris Bueller's day off. I want to make sure of this. I've heard different things as to whether these get a hot or cold start back at the factory (not looking to open the debate as to the best way to break in a car). But I'm assuming once it leaves germany, there should be minimal miles put on it. I saw a 2010 TT this dealer had for a customer order and it had 22 miles, which I thought was ridiculously high. My friend's BMW 750 that he ordered had 4 miles upon delivery. Given that my car has been ordered for me and I've put a deposit down, no one, including the dealer, should be test driving it. So, how many miles is acceptable? Thanks.

 

Call them and warn them right away.
Simple.

 

Be there when it rolls off the truck to take delivery.

That will prevent horseplay.

 

You can ask to go along on the PDI, if you are really concerned.

 

exactly. don't be so anal would be my suggestion.
