Would you buy a truck with 700 miles on it?

[MikeNH]

Are you sure about that? I signed a paper that stated how many miles where on the truck when I purchased it. I would think that way they have record for his 36k warranty. I would think that is 36000 miles or 3 years from the date AND miles that you received it new from dealer.

I thought this was the case as I have a paper that says my warranty was to like 36,047 miles or something because of what was on the truck.

Believe me gents, I have bought a brand new GM vehicle before. Had 1000 miles on it as it was driven up from Texas, I said the same thing and called GM. Was told by GM that the B2B is up to 36,000 miles and start date is from the time the original purchaser is loaded into the in service date in GMVIS.

Then you got swindled, bought my truck with 3 miles, owners center on GM website states my warranty will expire after 36003 miles/100003 miles, same with the one before, but it had 200 miles.

TJay if you were the first owner then you should have went from what ever milage was on the truck when you bought it plus the 36000. Unless you bought it from a dealer in TX and he drove it to you then what you said might be what GM would say. But if you did not sign any papers for it until it was at your place then my experience would say that is where the 36000 miles and 3 years start. But I am not GM!!

Update:

 

Miles came from "dealer trade". Maybe multiple trades? Salesmen dodged the question. Dealership wouldn't budge past 19,000 bottom line. (46900 MSRP, 26K trade in). Thats only 2000 off MSRP. Another dealer had offered me 2500 off for a similar truck that I no longer want with only 15 miles on it.

 

Going to look at a nearly identical truck tomorrow at another dealership that will have far less miles... I'll see how that goes.

Yep. Time to walk away and find your truck. Good luck.

BTW if you're a Costco member they have a Costco Auto Program and if you go to a participating dealership you get the truck at dealer invoice. They let you build the truck on their website so you know exactly what invoice pricing is. Just wanted to throw that out there for all of you. That's how I got invoice price on the truck I ordered...

 

Also, you could get the participating dealership to give you invoice pricing and then use that to bargain at other dealerships which is what I did do that I could get the best value for my trade-in...

Personally, if I was to spend that amount of money on a 'brand new' vehicle I wouldn't want 700 miles on it already. That's just me though, if you don't mind the mileage go for it just make sure to ask for some kind of discount.

Ya. I Wouldn't do it either!

 

This is what happened to me when I bought the wife units equinox. I was looking used but anything decent was 30k @ 5-6%, and brand new was 33-35 but at 0%. So we just bought new.

My guess is this was a "spot" delivery where a customer was allowed to take the vehicle home prior to the financing being approved and then the dealership could not get financing approval after several days so they took the vehicle back. Vehicle would still be considered new because the deal was never completed and never titled thus the 700 miles.

This is one hell of a vehicle to go and try and buy if your finances where sketchy. It's not like you're buying a $2000 1990 Ford Taurus.

More like a dealer pushing to make that sale, figuring once you have had it for a few days you won't care what you have to pay to keep it. If the finances were that sketchy, they should have made the person wait until they were approved before the delivery. Spot Delivery is great, if you have good credit, but it is more to the advantage of the dealer, getting that sale out the door before the customer changes his mind.

Dealers often report vehicle sales before the vehicle is actually delivered to them. Reason most often is to get the customer incentives that will expire if they wait for the vehicle to arrive at the dealer to close the deal. Legally they can sell it once they have an invoice, which is usually the next day after its built. That is also the date they are charged for the vehicle by GM and start paying interest to ALLY on it. Legally they have to record the miles on the vehicle at time of sale in writing, federal and state laws require that and if its new and still at the plant its going to be 0 miles. IMO opinon a risky idea because aything could happen between the time it leaves the plant and the time is gets in the hands of the customer.

Most dealerships don't finance their floor plans through Ally...
