How many kms did your 3 have when you picked it up?

[TheProfessor]

Just wondering how many km\'s were on the car when you took possession?

Ours had 6km on it, and I have no idea why it even had that many to be honest.

[Ex-Rolla]

around 10 km... give or take a couple

[RedRaptor]

1km when I went to see it on the lot. They let me test drive it around the block (3km). So a week later when I went to pick it up. 4km on it total.

I had the same (6km) so I think that\'s normal... But you\'re right, why would there be 6??

[chaser]

around 4km i believe

[super_vixen]

2km on delivery

I expected more, because the dealership said that sometimes they get their boys to go pick up the cars from the lot on Markham (dealer was in Pickering), so that they don\'t have to wait so long between the cars getting off the train, and the cars getting loaded onto the transport, and then dropped off at he dealer. As it was, I had to wait 5 weeks for my car....

I guess this wasn\'t the case for me, but you never know what other dealers do similar things

[billyfo]

around 20, cause dealer had to locate the car from other dealership.

cars have to drive from the factory to parking lot, then drive to the loading truck or ship from Japan as our 3, then again drive to Vancouver loading dock, back to loading truck/train, then to dealership and finally PDI. So less then 25km is the normal mileage when we pick up the car.

dont ask.
I already asked Mazda Canada about it. They said it was normal. But it was funny how I found empty ketchup packets in my car when I brought it home. (Thanks ONTARIO MAZDA for using my car to pick up lunches... ****ers)

[bubba1983]

24km

[flyboy]

My GT had 3 km on pickup and the sales guys said sorry, but we had to drive it to the corner to fill with gas. I was impressed.

On the other hand, my wife\'s Camry had 70 km on pick-up and I almost refused to take delivery. I told the guy that I bought a \"new\" car, not a bloody demonstrator. I found Richmond Hill Toyota to be an unpleasant experience in general.

[The Exile]

11 km

[Flagrum_3]

I haven\'t picked up my car yet,... but I would be very suspicious if it had anymore than 3 clicks on it...20 or 25 is not normal has mentioned earlier.I\'ve gone to several dealers and driven several M3s on test drives (10 to be exact):D And some of these vehicles had only 3 clicks on them.So I wouldn\'t expect my vehicle to have any more than that without a very good reason.

[TheProfessor]

It is quite possible that cars with 10-25 were used for test drives like the ones you drove in. I highly doubt that they would not consider the car brand new if it only had 25 km\'s on it, regardless of where the km\'s came from. I don\'t agree with that, but I think that\'s just the case. I know that the cars do not come gassed up from the factory, so all cars have to be driven to a gas station to be filled up before pick up.

[Flagrum_3]

I realize the gas part but my point was I\'ve been in vehicles with only 3 clicks on the odometer and they had gas, plus the way I see it I\'ve put my downpayment on my vehicle and been given the VIN for my vehicle and so far as I\'m concerned that vehicle is already mine.If they go using my vehicle for anything,...test drive, pick-up lunch,.... whatever,this may be a stretch, but thats almost like theft and I stress almost because they have taken my vehicle without my conscent.

Thats just the way I see it.

[ZeroChalk]

I think 3-4 km...

[Candyman]

5km:)

[pigeoncamera]

Now I feel like an idiot. Mine had 89km on it, but it came from another dealership, so I didn\'t think more about it. :(

[FLIPDADY]

Cars usually have 2 km from the rail yard but after the PDI and trip to the gas station depending on how far it may be should have about 10-12 km.

[DJB]

Is there an amount of KM\'s that would be deemed as unaceptable at pickup? I mean can you legally refuse to pick up your \"new\" car if it has past a certain amount of KM\'s on it?
I\'m only asking because mine is due to be picked up in about 2-3 weeks.

DJ\'B

[FLIPDADY]

I\'m not too sure about that but we have customers that don\'t want to wait so we pick the cars up at the yard or another dealer. That would put on some km\'s on the cars.

[billyfo]

don\'t worry, my mom previously drove 95 Altima bought new from Nissan (forget the name) at Yonge and north of Steeles, the one with GM/Saab, Nissan/Infinti and former location for T&C BMW. I didn\'t go to pickup the car with my parents cause needed to go to school. When I back home, they said car had 250km on it!!!!! but of course we had no way to complain cause they already signed the paper and several hours later when I noticed that.

And Flipspeed that sounds reasonable but, don\'t they do the PDIs right there? And isn\'t there a gas station not 1k from where you are? ...Just Wondering.

[Hazy]

44k

[Jeff-TheBiz]

On the 500+ I have delivered I think the average would be between 2-12 km

The pound in Vancouver has to house all the cars for the countries \"Japan\" production vehicles (MPV, 3, 3S, MX5, RX8...) so the pound is like 2 km wide and 2 km deep. which means if they park a new car right at the back corner... 2+2+2+2... 8km plus the .6ish on it from the plant. plus gas and PDI...

the max should be about 15km I would estimate.

Most dealers dont have a dealership truck to pick-up dealer trades. (Avante does :)) so if they pick up the car at the yard or at another dealership. expect those km as well..

The lowest I have ever seen... 2 !

Jeff

[Fuman]

2 on the matrix. The salesman let me test drive a brand new one, I think it was for delivery and not a demo. This was over a yr ago. I hope they gave them a free oil change, cause my uncle and I drove it hard.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

honestly most dealers dont have the ability to have a test driver for every model/transmission...

I caution anyone who gets to test drive a new vehicle, there is a good chance that someone test drove yours... little scary.

[TheProfessor]

That\'s kinda what I figured, and yes, it is a bit scary:(

[iconicrocket]

Mine had 12Km at delivery.

[ranger99]

every case is different i think, when i got my envoy it had 450km because it came from up north. What can a person do to a car anyway. cmon it is a new car with warranty who cares just love your car .

[maldini]

The idiot salesman said they had to drive from the port. I could have refused to accept the deal. I wanted a car trucked into the dealership by those large trucks.

[Fuman]

the ppl who deliver cars (if they are driving it), they ususally drive it HARD (its a somewhat a sterotype) but I know a few ppl (worked at honda though) that drive them pretty hard.
I would have pick up the car from the port

[TheProfessor]

I assume you mean from the railyard in the east end, and not the port;) I was asked for each of the Mazda\'s we\'ve owned whether we wanted to wait to have it trucked over, or were willing to have the km\'s put on and have it driven over. We were even offered to have it flatbedded over at our expense.

[racing3]

I have 19KM on mine.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Actually a train brings it from port (in vancouver), when it arrives in Toronto the dealer has the option of picking it up from the yard normally will save 3-4 days only.

If the car was already delivered to a dealership by the big truck then it maybe picked up and brought to the selling dealer by a \'hired truck\' or by a \'lot guy\' (additional km again).

[mazda3boss]

i had 57km

same here 2k...

[Krakor]

I had about 41 km\'s on it. I asked why and they stated they had to get it from another dealer lot where cars are stored. The good thing is that I didn\'t find any empty Ketchup packets! That would have pissed me off. And the bastards didn\'t even check my tire pressure! It was set at 45 PSI. It felt like I was riding on stone wheels! When I got home I checked them and adjusted them. Now I have the survey to fill out... And you can bet I will make sure they know how displeased I was!

[MaxRPM]

7km, despite the sales slip saying 25 but it was 7 when I picked it up. I\'m curious to know how many they have when they leave the assembly line, I imagine it\'s under 0.

I doubt they pay much attention to the surveys.
Its better to call mazda canada if u are displeased

[torpedo20]

2km here

[nsyeates]

mine had 10 when i picked it up last night

[awhoy]

The sales slip said 75km, I was going to complain on delivery. Luckily when I picked it up it had 9km, I guess it was reasonable.

[DJB]

Well... Picked up mine on Wednesday night and it had a whole 5 KM on it.
Weeeeee
(two days later... it has over 300km now :D .... Gotta break in the engine ya\'know :p :p :p )

[Cosmo77]

Funny I get in trouble from our Mazda rep when he does spot checks on PDI\'s and there is less that 5km\'s on them. Our guys are asked to put 3-5km\'s on them to make sure that there is nothing wrong with them and to tet drive them for squeaks and rattel\'s and make sure the drivetrain is fine...alot of time this is where the 5-12kms comes from.

[ahhh]

mine had 57 km when i first testdrove it. when i picked it up, it had about 67. after we made the deal, the dude put the SOLD sign on it. apparently it was the only 5-speed they had, so it was being used for test drives.

and my air pressures were set to : 3 tires at 54 psi, 1 at 51. i called the salesman, and he told me it should have been checked at PDI time. it wasn\'t.

so far no major probs. only 1 with the driver\'s front auto-down feature. sometimes it seems to go down a quarter way, and i have to hit it again. then other times, it goes down most of the way, and stays up about a quarter. i dunno...when i took it in, they \"could not duplicate\" so they didn\'t do anything with it. I\'ll have to take it in one day, after a downpour, and a soaked interior, as my window won\'t close. oh well.

and the a/c kinda sucks when you need it the most. otherwise, mainly ok

enjoy, and drive safe

[oh_bs]

7 kms

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Normally if the vehicle is dropped off by truck it will have minimal kms on it.. like 10 or less.

If the vehicle is picked up at the compound by the dealership (saving a week for 'delivery') it will have the distance from the pound to the dealership + ~10...

Thus the case of 35km or so..

[Kevin@nextmod]

Got mine with only 3 km on it.

Well mine was dropped off from the truck right into the showroom.
They told me it was in the show room for about 2 days then i bought it. That 3 km was rust proof and car wash i think.

[Kevin@nextmod]

Well if you put it that way, mine should have about 1km or so. Since it was really on and off the truck and in the show room. I didn't see the cars km when it was in the show room but when i picked it up it was 3.3km to be exact.

[OakTownBaller]

First test drove mine with 16km but put 20 or so on the test drive picked up with 41 so I was happy cause that was just gas and my test drive of my car. Anyways that was 2 weeks ago and now im at 1500km I just couldnt get out of it, was lovin the drive way too much.

[jr21]

most cars before we pick they pick them in the lot in the east end would have roughly 4-8km then car is driven back to the dealer ex MoT the car would have 22kms then 1-2kms for pdi adn gas thats why some cars would have under 25kms in them.I personally drive in customer cars for delivery properly just like the way i want my car to be driven and follow all break in period so this means under 3K rpm shifts. we also clay bar the car when we detail it for delivery and add alot of paint protection for anyone who wants to pay for them

[b]

Mine had 120 something km's. I didn't care at the time... I was just happy to get a new car!

[Timmy]

Had 2km on mine when I first saw it. Had the white protection strips on it even. Quickly took it off, had a quick test drive. Was at 6.6 I think when we were done.

When I came back to pick it up for delivery, it had 8.

Guess that was to drive it to gas up and wash it.

[Skarbro]

The 0.1km on the trip odometer was from Jeff driving it from MoT's shop to the parking lot.

[righthandman]

Now I am becoming paranoid about this issue.

I live in Ottawa and they say the car will be coming from Toronto. I find this out a week after I ordered it. So does that mean it'll likely be driven from there to here?

That would mean some monkey is going to be abusing it potentially for the first 40% of the "break in period". I know it's not really a break in period, but there are certain do's and don'ts that i figure the car jockey is unlikely to adhere to.

Any suggestions? Should I refuse to take delivery if that's what's going to happen? Are there any industry "norms" for this type of thing?

[Jeff-TheBiz]

If they have already told you about it and you have accepted, not much you can do now.

If it is from a specific dealership, do a mapquest to see what you should expect.

If it is coming from Mazda Canada's pound, it should be coming to Ottawa by trailer and minimal kms should be on it.

thanks for your quick reply.

i called them on the phone 1 week after ordering it and was informed verbally on the phone as an answer to my inquiry that it is coming from Toronto "sometime next week" so I didn't "agree" to anything as such, I just verbally acknowledged it, hung up and then a few days later started thinking about it.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Wouldn't hurt to call them and ask how it is arriving.

[McGuyver_3]

doubt that they will drive it to much possibility for rock chips and what not. dealer told me i was going to have c;lose to 60km on the car because they were going to drive it from the train yard to the dealer i said i would rather have it shipped so i got it with 11km i think
for breakin period i drove mine pretty hard reason being i didnt want to have a shopping cart 2 years later.

[RX9]

i think the break in period just about smoothing the clutch, the motor parts should have no issue about it. IMO. but i gonna change stock oil to mobil1 tomorrow anyway (i just past 1500KM).

[McGuyver_3]

oo forgot to add that i did first oil change at 4000km and i did use mobil 1 aswell

[Bean]

56 freaking ks.

[samsvoc]

3 Km

[b.rabbit]

I think I had 23km. No big deal. :)

[x_o_k_x]

It is normal to have I think less then 50km when new, since the guys have to drive from warehouse to the dealership, to bring the car over.

[mazdas3sporte]

Mine had 26 when I test drove it. Probably 41 when I drove it off the lot. 3 years later, and no complaints.

[Mafty]

i think 6, had to come from the compound to the dealership. then they had to put gas in it. i thought that it was extremely low, atleast i know nobody test drove it.

[loganm3]

Mine had 17km...that quicly became 170km after I took possession!

[Cardinal Fang]

I still laugh at what Jeff did for me when I bought my car. He explained to me and my wife that the car would at most have 6 km on it. He even went as far as drawing us a map on a piece of paper that showed the route the car would take from the ship to the storage yard with the distance it would cover. My wife looked at me and rolled her eyes.

4 weeks later when we picked up the car my wife slid into the front seat looked down and said "OH COME ON!" :chuckle

[thJack]

When I went in to deal last Saturday I test drove the M3 Sport that I was eventually going to buy. I had already test driven other ones, both the sedan and sport, and I wanted see how the actual car felt before I bought it. It had 2 kms on it when I got in, and 9 after I was finished with the drive.

I picked it up yesterday so technically it had 9kms on when I did, but I know who drove most of those nine :). I'm half way through my first day with it and can't wait to get home and actually go somewhere. (last night I looked over the manual :P)

[DumpInfo]

Mine had 9kms and now am about 82K and going strong :)

[TM3GX]

picked mine up last Wednesday (June 04th) and had 8 km on it. now I have 450+ km on it.

[carsnick]

about 20km, picked up on tuesday

[Birdo]

My car had 120ish km's on it but they got it from another dealership. Toronto to St. Cahtarines is 100 kms, so I don't really mind.

[zoom08]

If its a new car, i should have no more than 100 kms. The less the better..

[bolak]

100km

[qycxzerqp]

I just picked mine up today and it had 71 on it.

[mrfrostyman]

When i got it today it had 2 km's on it. The trip computer looked like it started at 1km.

[ultimateM3]

mine have 4km on it when i pick it up in 2006. Now 72,000km. too much driven.

[EastYork3]

mine had 9km when I picked it up. I didn't even know it was the mileage because it was so low, hahaha.

[Harbour Rat]

Mine had 14 km on it.

[stormin84]

20 KMS i think they had a joy ride with mine getting the tints and filling it up

[mazda lover]

why? who wants to know? lo

[bubba1983]

24 in 2004, now im at 97500ish...

[Zoom Zoom Boy]

40km when i picked it up a few weeks ago. It's a 2008.5 Black Mica MS3 so i know that it has been on a few test drives as there was only one other black one left in the GTA at the time. The car still had all of the plastic covering on the scruff plates, logo's etc.

[Go_Habs_Go]

Mine had 21 km's on it when I went to inspect the vehicle at the dealership. I test drove it and put another 10 or so km's on it and then brought it home a few days later with about 32 or 33 km's on it. That was about a month ago, now I'm at about 1,300 kms.

[FONZ]

This is going to sound bad,


I picked up my car back in October of '07. Used 39,000kms.


As of right now, I have 75,000kms on it, Yes I know, I do drive alot.

[Effin Itai]

This does sound like a gay thread, but I will put my 2 cents in anyways. lol. I don't remember how many km's I had when I took possesion, but it's been 4 years now and 97,000kms! Anybody beat that?

[Greg_di]

9 km when I picked mine up

I don't know if you mean higher or lower so my 2 cents is 73,000km after two years when I picked mine up.

[alco]

Mine had 256 km on it when i picked it up, at the time it was the only red gs with power package left in canada (i bought it in sept 06) so i'm assuming they had to drive it in, i wasn't to happy about that but my buddy from work picked up his lancer with about 200km as well. Ps no probs with the car 50 000 km later.

[DFU]

4km when I picked up my 09 Mazda3 Sport GS. Trip meter was showing 2.6km however.

On another note, I almost struck a deal for a 2008 VW Rabbit before getting my Mazda. It came with 300km, not to mention the dirt/mud all over both the front and back floor, as well as on the gas pedal and break, and yet the dealership was trying to convince me that was a brand new car. When I asked, they could not give me a definite answer on where the 300km came from. One of them actually told me, "the guys might had taken it for a spin." Right.....to Kingston?

I was having a hard time deciding between a Mazda3 or a Rabbit, well, that made it easy for me. :chuckle

[KenYork]

2004 GS sedan 14kms, 102900kms to date
2008.5 GS sedan 6kms

[rick10]

Just wondering how many km\'s were on the car when you took possession?

Ours had 6km on it, and I have no idea why it even had that many to be honest.

its better for your car to have at least more than 10 km . You could get a 0KM that is factory damage.

Anyhow , mine had like 38 000 kms when i pick it up in march this year.

2004 mazda 3 gt. Pretty low kms for a 2004

[5_Alive]

Mine had 10,950KM when I picked it up March 26/08.. today, it sits at 33,600km.. awesome car, nothing major as of yet..

[OneDrop]

Just got my Mazda 3 GS Metropolitan Grey 11 hours ago with 118 km... had to be driven from Hamilton to MoT ... got the color I want and free all weather mats.

[Thrizzl3]

i got mine in july of this with 97500km on it (used obv.). at 101k now

[STeeLy]

10 when I picked it up at around 4:00 at MoT... over 500 on it already... (had to drive back to Ottawa)

[cosic]

65, but I got $6000 off it so I didn't complain.. :D :D

[5_Alive]

^^ Seems for every 1,000km a new car is driven, you will save roughly $1,000 off the cost of the car..

I paid $25,995 for my Speed3 with 10,950km on it.. the car new totaled $36,000ish after tax and whatnot.. so roughly $10g's off..
