But I'm assuming once it leaves germany, there should be minimal miles put on it. I saw a 2010 TT this dealer had for a customer order and it had 22 miles, which I thought was ridiculously high. .

I had a brand new custom ordered C2S, and (reluctantly) took delivery with 50kms on it. The "Salesman" said that was fairly normal....mmm yeh right!! That car had nothing but problems over the entire period of ownership. It was one thing breaking after the next....rediculous. Funny how i later took the time to note that all the other new ones in the showroom only had 8 to 12kms on them and, I wouldnt have had the need to notice this had i not been back to the dealer so many times. My advice, if the car has more than 15kms on it dont touch it, period,....walk away. I also dont buy the break in hard bit i frequently hear. That damn car mustve been broken in real hard
