call ford world head quarters and inquire about it. If the transport company is joy riding around I am sure ford would want to know about it.

Mine showed 39.3 mils on the Quality Control sticker on the front windshield. Wasn't too excited about it. Might not be a bad thing in that any problems with your vehicle are fixed at the plant instead of the dealership which can be inconvenient.

My car had 7 miles the first time I sat in it and 50 miles when I signed the papers. The 43 miles was my test drive.

Nice test drive man

Op, that's a lot of miles. I would make sure they were from ford. That would have pissed me off. Even if legit.

Mine had 6.3 on her.

Mine had 11 miles on it as well as a full tank of fuel. My dealer drove it to the gas station to fill it up for me since it comes almost bone dry from the factory. I didn't mind....

I think my car was hanging out with yours for a while. Mine was built a few days after yours and it was on a factory hold as well. I did not get mine until the second week in May. Mine had about the same amount of miles so they must have been traveling the circuit together for a while. Mine also had 41 but the dealer did fill it up before I got it. BTW, my last car was a BMW, that was my first foreign car, it was a good car but looking at new the Mustang was a better value.

I would be mad if mine has more than 5 on her unless specified from the factory. I told my dealer that i am to be notified before she gets to the dealer so i can keep track of everything they do to her. If they have to take her for a ride i have to be in the car with them. I really don't want them to be joy riding in my 662hp car i mean who wouldn't want to

Do you own it yet, meaning did you sign all the papers and pay for it? If not, then it's not yours to make demands of how it's used before you take delivery.

But, you can always walk away if your not pleased with the mileage thats on it prior to purchase.
