My Lariat had 55 miles on it when purchased. When I was leafing through the paperwork it had 36 on it when landed. Is this common for all Hybrids.

According to a Ford salesman, a car is still considered new when it has 49 miles on it, 50 or more miles is considered a used car.

As far as I can tell, there is no exact standard rule. Lots of websites say under 200ish from some googling. Mine had over 50. You have to consider some cars are test driven by multiple prospective buyers or to diagnose something at the factory or dealership. Of course you can try to negotiate the price down for that, or negotiate based on literally anything you want… once upon a time.

Another point: many “New Car Auto Loans” specify the vehicle must be less than some number of thousands of miles before the cutoff of requiring a Used Car Loan. But thats kinda different from a personal definition of New.

36 when we got ours. To be fair it was an order that was abandoned so I’m sure there were a few test drives in there.

Mine had 27. Think it arrived at the dealer with 6. Not too worried about the 20 miles. Just a drop in the bucket of the miles I’ll put on it

There is no such rule. A car is "new" if it still has the original title from the manufacturer.

Ordered an F250 several years ago; when it came in, there was a sticker on the window that said, "this vehicle was selected for an extended road test." don't recall the miles but, I think it said the miles weren't supposed to exceed 75.
