Zero on the odometer?!? That doesn't sound right. Between post production testing at both the factory and the port, cars typically come off the carrier with at least 3-5 miles on them. Your dealer's PDI would add a few more. Sure you weren't look at the trip odometer?

Yeah, my guess is he was looking at the trip odometer.

If he checks his loan agreement. It should say the exact amount of miles on the car when you purchsed it. Mine said "7" and sure enough it was 7 when I got in my car.

I am sure I was looking at the wrong one.

Though the car was still in plastic (everything - rims, seats, paint, etc) and they had to do the PDI while I was waiting! So if it was not 0, it was prolly damn close to it : )

Thanks everyone! I am super stoked!!!

Once again check your loan doc (long pink paper) to see the true amount of mileage on your car unpon delivery to you.
