Another question.
I have been looking on line for Grand Sport inventories. There is a dealer out there that is advertising new 2017 Grand Sports with "0" miles. I thought that every car off the assembly line had an acceptance drive to check for faults! Even the drive to the holding lot would put a mile on the car. Just asking.

Technically there's no way to get this car delivered with zero miles. I think they're just being a little liberal with the marketing speak. Zero miles = new is what they mean.

Not quite 3 on my car. They got to drive it out to the lot and park it...going to have some miles on it. If it is pulled for QC then it will have more.
All would be considered "zero" mileage cars by the dealer, as they are new.

Between the run on the dyno at the end of the assembly line, driving the car to the staging area and then onto a delivery truck, unloading it at the dealer and doing the PDI and then the dealership driving it to a gas station to fill it will gas, you will see from 3-4 miles on the odometer. Cars going by train will see another mile or so on the odometer.
Cars with 10 or more miles have most likely been driven on the random quality control check or have possibly had work done on them after completion because of being rejected at the end of the assembly line.
