That is wierd, because I thought someone at SVT was supposed to drive each SVT and put it through its paces. I remember a thread with the Lightnings where they said the avg Lightning came off the truck with between 25 and 40 miles on them for that reason.

Apparently not with the new Cobras. Mine hit the dealership with 3.7 miles and I saw another with 3.3. There is a quality control function where they randomly pick cars for QC test drives. They come with an explanation sticker and between 25-35 miles. Glad mine didn't get QC'd :-D

The car is still there, I told them to give me a couple days. Im trying to find quick insurance for under 3,600 (thats my quote from my current policy). btw the car already has almost 18 miles on it. anyway, i didnt call today. im gonna call tomorrow and talk to the gm or owner. insurance doesnt even matter actually. if i really like and want something, i dont mind. bt no test drive? sounds half retarded to me.

Saturn has a great policy regarding driving the car you buy.
If you buy a new Saturn you can drive it for 1 Month or 1500 miles and if you are not satisfied for any reason you have the right to return it no questions asked for a complete refund.
I wish Ford offered this warranty, especially when you hear of the vibe problem.

Yah but then you have to drive a Saturn:-(

I pretty much had the same situation. I ordered the car on 4/16 put a $500 deposit. Went to see it the day it arrived 6/24. I did however get a chance to test drive it first before I signed the deal- I pulled it up about 10 feet for my friend to take a picture then backed it into it's spot.... LOL Picked it up 6/28 dropped another $8300 down, signed the papers, then I got to drive it for real!

Whatever you do, drive it before you by it. and I mean drive it, not just around the block.
