There is only 1 place in the world where someone can purchase a car with 0 miles on it. That place would be the VW dealer in Wolfsburg.
Every car sold at their newest tower design depot was never driven, started nor had another person behind the wheel. All of the vehicles are placed in a small cube by crane and when the car is ordered in the show room, a crane moves it down for the customer to be received by the customer.
When the customer sits in the car, the car is started for the very first time.
In the U.S. There is a federal law that does NOT allow the odometer to be reset for any reason other than to match the original unit during replacement of a defective unit. This procedure must also be documented.
I am not sure how other countries are. |
