Nobody wants to buy a new Z with high miles."

While it pissed me off at the time, it kinda of makes me feel better to know they do some screening. Not enough apparently though...
This is exactly what I was told at the dealer where I eventually bought mine. When I took delivery, I knew that except for about 5 of the miles recorded on the odometer, the rest had been racked up by me during a test drive. BTW, I test drove another dealer's "demo" before I bought mine. Drove it like I stole it...
