^ Yes. I have customers ask for 0 miles... impossible. They test them at the facory, then pull them on the ships/trucks, then park them at port, then put them on trucks to get to dealers, then the dealers test/check them in, then one or two people test drive them....
average is around 20 i'd say. but if we trade for a color to another store it could be up to 150 miles ++ or if it has been test driven a few times with potential clients it could have even more.

No way I'd buy a new car with anywhere near 150 miles. You can find them with under 20 miles pretty easily if you are talking about the number of miles on the odo while it's on the original shipping truck that brings the car to the dealer. I've seen as low as 1 mile and some change.

I think the most should be no more than 5-10 miles. These days, dealers are getting smart about using test driver car. Instead of putting miles on every single new cars, they put it all on one car, and then sell it cheap while still making money. At least that's what mid to high end car dealer do. I don't know if its worth it for a chevy cobalt or something.
