We all know the positives of NOT buying a 4,000 mile “new” vehicle. Can anyone give me a reason why I COULD be ok with it?

You would be ‘ok’ with it if you want one of the first Badlands versions available or if you get a better deal.We all know the positives of NOT buying a 4,000 mile “new” vehicle. Can anyone give me a reason why I COULD be ok with it?
Great points. I appreciate your input.Keep in mind, the limits before sale was 2k miles or 4 months. But even if a dealer mannequin has 4K miles, they are going to be soft miles. For test drives, someone will take it out and stretch their legs on the highway and around town. But no one is taking it for bouncy rides off trail on a test drive.
Now, you'll still want to do your due diligence when evaluating a mannequin. And prepare to negotiate a better deal factoring in the amount of use. If a dealer wants to hold firm and not negotiate, then there is another dealer that might. All of these mannequins will be eligible for sale in the coming weeks. Dealers don't want to sit on "used" inventory. Ford will make more.
No problem. And as a point of negotiation, even though it is a new model, it is still "used". If the dealer is hard set on the MSRP, then you should be hard set on the mileage. The 2021 federal tax mileage rate is .56 cents/mile. At 4000 miles, that is $2, 240.Great points. I appreciate your input.
