New vs Demo mileage

[marco79]

What is the difference between new and a demo vehicle? Specifically the difference in mileage.

How much kilos are acceptable as new? 50km? 100km?

Depends.. new vehicles are driven from the factory floor onto carrier trucks, trains boats etc.. then driven by the dealership for checks like wheel alignment etc.. I wouldn't think 100km to be excessive for a new vehicle..

My bakkie had 63km on it when I bought it new..

Demo vehicles would typically go out for test drives etc, so they can do a few thousand before being sold..

Happy Saturday.

New car kilos - where do you draw your line?

What number on the clock would be acceptable to you on the day you take the ribbon off at the dealer on those shiny new wheels? Most cars come with some kms but where do you draw the line? I know even if the clock says 0km chances are good that they drove the car from Durban to Joburg.

Less than 100km for new.

A demo has a couple of thousand on usually and sold when they hit the next registration year or first service interval from what I’ve seen.

Yeah I would hope less than a 100, if that much, for new. Hopefully less than. 30-50km.

Demo, 5000-10 000 max.

But I don't trust demos. I've seen how those chaps drive those vehicles and patch them up again.

Nothing better than a demo or rental that still has plenty of warranty.

Why? Because if it survived that it’s never going to die.

But from my experience demos sell with a whole lot more mileage than that.
