New Car Sale

Is a car with 2800 miles considered to be a new car?

I saw a similar question being asked about a car with a few hundred miles. This however is a different story. I am looking at a 2006 Mercury Milan with 2800 miles. The dillership owner has been driving it for awhile, but it still quallifies for 2006 Ford special financing (0% for 72 months) that only new 2006 cars are elligible for. Can depreciation on this car lower the asking price by a couple of thousands, because this is a used car now? Thank you guys!

It is considered a "dealer demo" which means it has not been titled & is therefore considered a NEW vehicle.

The fact that it has 2800 miles on it only means that the dealer should be able to discount it more than one that has not been driven as a demo.

You better decide quickly. Ford Motor Credit is only offering the 0% X 72 month financing on remaining 2006 models through Labor Day.

Most Ford & Mercury dealers are just about out of cars as of now, & even the demo’s are mostly gone.

Why do new cars struggle to keep up with uk motorway traffic?

I have never driven a new car, only an old Rover 620i and a Ford XR3 and they never struggled to keep up with motorway traffic in SA and Japan, where people drive much faster (160 kph +). So why do they say in road tests that so many new 1.6 to 2.0 L cars struggle to keep up with motorway traffic, which is only 70mph?
This is in Top Gear magazines.

a 1.6 or 2.0 litre car will not struggle at all to keep up on the motorway.
Sorry but your info is flawed.
