NEW Car Mileage??
When buying a new car and taking delivery...how many miles should be on the odometer?
Also what else should I check when taking delivery? Before signing and before driving off dealers lot?
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions...

Depends on your region and port. anywhere from 1 mile to 7 miles is what you would normally see on an car that has gone through the port and run through dealership PDI.

I would check for any scratches or dents....once you take delivery, you're on your own with fixing these things.
I would also check for the accessories....floor mats, trunk mats, etc....making sure no one borrowed these from your car.

do you get mats with car? I thought thats extra fee... Some dealers might give it away, but mats, first aid, etc, come as preffered packaged at some >$200.
I have seen brand new cars up to 50 miles, that one probably got tested at factory... Usual mileage is up to 10 miles... I wouldnt be too woried as long as it is under 100 miles.

You might want to check your AM radio reception, I took mine back because the reception was weak. The service manager called the Lexus tech people and found out that they were aware of a problem. Turned out to be connection problem between the amplifier and the antenna.

I also got the mats, first aid kit, trunk mat,etc... Personally (and slightly off topic), I'd love to find a suitable mat that sits on top of the standard mat since my tan mats are going to look filthy in no time flat.. I tried carpet runner material for a house and find that it doesn't work too great in practice (slides around) -- any suggestions, please send me a PM..

Just make sure that EVERYTHING looks good on the vehicle, no scratches, dents, everything is functioning properly, etc.
