I've got notified today that my S3 had arrived at my local dealer.
I came in to have a quick look at it, grab a couple of pictures. 5min in and out.
I'll be collecting the car in two days or sth.
But now that I'm looking at the pictures there are a few things that look a bit strange to me.
Unless I'm reading it incorrectly - the odometer on the second picture shows 31km (~20miles).
My previous A4 had 8km (~5miles) when i picked it up and i don't think I've ever seen a mileage bigger than that on a brand new car (sitting in cars in a showroom etc.).
I'm just struggling a bit to imagine how this car could have done such a mileage in it's relatively short trip from DE -> PL (no shipping yards along the way etc.)
What's the biggest mileage you've seen on a brand new car (that has definitely not been driven on a public road yet) ?
The other thing that seems a bit odd to me is that state of the tires (first picture). To me they look like they've already been through a lot - at least e.g. compared to the ones on the black A6 in the background.
I'm worried that someone might have already been having some "fun" with the car somewhere along the way or are such attempts completely restricted by the car's "delivery mode" ?
Or am I just being totally paranoid and it's all normal/expected ?
