Demo with 10k+ can be new, only 1mi can be used..... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: odometer reading to classify as new car, Abby, Sun, 24 Aug 2003 20:26:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The definition of new in California is more correctly stated as previously unregistered. So you could have a demonstrator with lots of miles, and it still be a new car, although the "in service date" the date the vehicle began demo service, determines the length of the warranty. Such a vehicle might qualify for all the new Saab programs and Saab loyalty.
You could have a car with only a few miles on it, new Saabs seem to have about 6-7 miles on them when they come off the truck and 12-17 miles after PDI, anyway if the car was sold to someone else and taken back for any reason it is a used car. If it's operated on a public roadway by it's new owner, even if it's only around the block, it's used. Sometimes all the paperwork is done on a car and the new owner doesn't pick it up, then it's still new, we call that an unwind, but if it was driven by the new owner, it's now used. Such a car might not qualify for any of the Saab programs, low rates, or owner loyalty.
California won't let a non California Emissions car into California with less than 7,500 miles, unless there's a legitimate hardship involved, new or used.
