How many miles did your SRT have on it when you bought it? Did you special order or just take what's on the lot?

My dealer had to search for one. Then drove it 250m instead of flatbedding it. Also convincing me to get the '06, because of EP. Auto dealers what's the deal? :confused:

Mine had 8 miles on it when I went to first test drive it...I put 35 on myself over two test drives before I took it home...I believe it was the last one on anyone's lot in Western PA during EP...:cool:

Mine had 20 miles on it when I first saw it. The hot sales chick told me it had been test driven once earlier in the day and that guy was thinking about it. I drove it another 25 on my test drive and purchased it out from underneath the "fence rider". Took it home 3 hours later. I'm sure the first test driver didn't do anything worse then I did to it on my drive :)

Mine only had 5K when I purchased.... but the dealer took over a month to clear my check and ended up having 18k when I drove it off the lot. Supposedly they topped fluids and did a road check for delivery. I checked on it once before I was finally able to pick it up and said I'd better not see any more miles on it! :)

:rolleyes: K= kilometers for you US guys! so in other words it had 11 miles on it when I drove it off the lot.

A month to clear a check???:confused: Did the dealer indicate to you if the blinker fluid was low, and that's why they had to top of fluids?

42 miles when I bought (about 5 of 42 were mine from my test drive). Purchased off the lot, did not order.

Mine had 8 on it when I test drove it.

They had another black fully loaded one with 250 miles on it that was built before the extra $400 for the srt experience was added. They wanted me to purchase that one :rolleyes: . I told them to BEAT IT! :D

Saving $400 isn't worth not knowing exactly what transpired during those 250 miles ;)

I made the mistake of writing a US check in Saudi. They didn't know how to handle it and instead of taking to their bank... they took it to the Saudi American bank which was supposed to transfer the funds into their local bank. Long story short.... they had my money and my SRT8 for well over a month gathering dust before I was finally able to pic it up. I'd say all-in-all worth the wait. I'll have to check the blinker fluid.... bet they forgot to top it up ;)

Assuming there have not been any testdrives on your truck before you bought it, the original mileage depends on how the truck was transported from the train yard to the dealership. Some dealers use flatbeds which means you'll see less than 10 factory miles, some have their employees drive them over in a procession which can add another 10, 20, 30 miles etc.

i special ordered mine and it had about 6 miles on it when i took it off the lot. i had no need to test drive it because i had it on order for about 6 months when i first saw it in a magazine and it got to the dealership before any other in pa so the dealers took it for some laps around the city before they called me to tell me it was in. i reseached this jeep almost everyday when it was on order so i knew very well what it was capable of, but i was still extremely impressed when on my way home. it was on the lot for about 4 hours and they had to send about 5 intersted buyers and test drivers away in the time period when i came to pick it up

Mine had 28 miles and had a sticker on the window saying it was chosen for a quality check by the factory. Oh, and I ordered mine.

Put a dep on one which was 3 1/2 wks away...another dealer by me got one w/ the same specs 5 days later. went down there that night...it had 9mi on it i put another 1 on it. so i'm going back and forth a bit w/ the salesman and his mgr on my trade...they came in 500 sweeter than the other guy. before committing i asked if i could take it home that night...guy smiles says yeah enthusiastically b/c he just made 25% of a lofty margin and i took her home that night w/ 10miles on it. That was in April...i've put 13k on it since all highway(drive alot for work)...never once have i looked at the clock to figure how long till i get home!
