Purchased a new 2015 platinum on Saturday. Dealer said the truck was only a few counties over and would have it hear on Monday. Dealer calls today and claims truck is really in another state over and they are having trouble negotiation with the dealer that has the truck and when it arrives it will have about 500 or 600 miles and possibly more on the odometer. The paperwork I have has a sworn odometer statement indication the truck delivered to me has 201 miles. The truck is suppose to be here on Wednesday now.

I wanted a new truck with as few miles as possible and now I'm not sure I am willing to accept the truck they want to deliver. I told the salesman I did not want the truck with more than the agreed upon miles. He laughed when I mentioned the odometer statement and said he could just adjust it. Wtf?

What do you all think. Does this seem right? What would you do?

Ya know, it is what it is. It's your decision whether you want to buy this particular truck or wait for another. Frankly, the mileage is a bit up there for my tastes.

That's what it has now, or will have? If you have a contract, ask the dealer to trailer it at his cost.

I'd like to know where the extra miles came from
IE was a salesman using it as a daily driver, or a test vehicle ?

I wouldn't accept it as a new truck purchase with 600+ miles on it.

If it was me, I would laugh back at the dealer and tell them to keep it. Sounds like it might have been a dealer trade or located one for you with the options you wanted.
Quick story, back in 85 I bought a Camaro Iroc Z...I know I know. Anyway, it was at a dealership 150 miles away. A few months later I ran into the salesman that picked it up. He told me he beat the hell out of that car and man was it quick. Moral being, don't take a truck with 600 miles it. Or, tell them to fly you out and you will drive it home.

So, the truck is further away and its cheaper to drive it and do a dealer to dealer swap than it is to hire a flat bed. The truck will have 500 miles of direct travel. If you care that much, go with the salesguy on the truck swap and deive woth him back to the dealer.

Honestly, if there wasnt an interwebz, you would still have to make a decision. Weighing the cost/benefit with your own brain and learning by making a choice is a much better teacher than just doing what someone said. Make a choice, live with it, life goes on.

A local dealer tried the same thing....and wanted to give me a "good" deal on a truck that the sales manager was driving....$1,000 more than what their website was advertising. I went to another dealer and got the same truck with much less mileage for the same price as the competitors web sale!

The dealer drove mine 300 miles from STL to Chicago. It is what it is.

Mine came from another state with 165 miles on it, which I agreed to after discussing with my salesman who promised it would be driven gently by his best driver. Your mileage seems too high for an adjacent state, and too much for my liking.
