Picked her up today and while I was driving home noticed 70+ miles on the car. I said Oh well, they must of test drove it and I was not about to bring it back. This is the reason it didn't have any tape on it because I noticed a sticker on the rear quarter window saying. "This new vehicle was selected at random for road testing following assembly. The odometer reading includes 63.6 miles during this evaluation. We hope you enjoy driving your new Ford Vehicle. Yeah Thanks!

All the interiors look great. I just thought that the LG had a little more contrast. If you get a chance to see one in person, it will decide for you.

I've never been a fan of the LG interior, but it looks AMAZING on Vista Blue. GREAT choice!

Mine had 58 miles on it since they used it for the local Parade of Mustangs Promo prior to delivery. I soon forgot all about it. Besides, if there was something wrong with your baby, I'm sure they caught it prior to delivery.

Congrats and enjoy the new ride!!! Looks sweet!

i.e. some manager probably drove it home for the weekend...

Congrats on the new car. Looks sharp!

Scott, absolultely beautiful!!! Here are some dancers for you I am glad to see another Vista Blue GT. I am so glad I ordered that color for my car. Around where I live, only a small handful of dealers ordered Vista Blue for one of their stock cars (we didn't), so to see a GT in VB, and without a spoiler, (my same order), is great. Hope you enjoy it.

Looks nice! It looks like the Vista Blue has less purple in it than the Sonic Blue did...more true blue.

Don't worry about the added mileage. Back in the 60s Lincoln road tested every new car for 100-200 miles as part of the process to insure build quality before delivery.

But I wonder if people complained then about the odometer?
