Hi Val,
If I were you I would certainly give it a lot of thought. It certainly does
depend on the price break. The point is not the 5,000 miles, it's the way
the 5,000 miles were put on. Remember, it's a "demo" vehicle. Some of the
people who drove it were testing to see what the vehicle was capable of
doing, maybe not something you would ever do to it if it was your own, and
they've been doing that since it had 000 miles on it! I might do it for
invoice less $2K rebate, less $1K for each 1,000 miles on the vehicle. If
the sticker is $25K, I might pay $15K. Remember, as far as you're
concerned, IT'S A USED VEHICLE!

Subject: DML: New QC is a DEMO! :-(
Well after really being pumped up about finding a QC with all the options I
wanted, I just found out that the truck in question is a demo with 5K miles
on it. I am so bummed!!!
I'd like to know the pros and cons of buying a truck with that many miles
on it. I really wanted a low mileage truck so I could baby it through the
"honeymoon" period and also have the pleasure of running up the odometer
myself. But if there is no real difference over the long-term between
buying a truck with 5K vs. 0K, then maybe I should just get it anyway. I
expect the warranty to run out of time before mileage, so I could probably
live with it.
Opinions? Keep in mind there is a $2000 rebate in effect for this truck
and I will also get a break on the price due to the mileage ...
Thanks,
Val
