Default Would You BUY THIS CAR??

hi:

I made a deal on an '09 accord coupe, 6 cyl. 6 speed out the door for $26,525. Cheapest deal I could find on the web in all neighboring states. I only want the car in Taffeta white. The dealer which is 20 miles from me had to locate the car. she finds it and picks it up. according to mapquest its a 74 mile drive dealer to dealer. she just called me and tells me the car has 209 miles on it.

So that means the car had about 130 miles on it when she picked it up. While its a great deal (I think) those 130 "unknown" miles is bothering me. Most people I would assume test drive the 6 speed with the "lets see what this baby can do" attitude. It's so hard to find that car in white. She said she is going to investigate with the other dealer in the morning. She didn't realize the car had the 130 miles on it cause it was on the trip odometer which was on 5 miles. She was so concerned checking the car cosmetically that she never realized it. When her manager saw the mileage she immediately called and told me. At least that's the story I'm getting.

I'm going to see the car tomorrow. Any comments greatly apprciated in advance. Regards...

I would not worry about that lesser amount of miles..dont let that deter you two from buying what you want.

130 "unknown" miles? I wouldn't worry about that too much. When people buy used cars they buy them with thousands of "unknown" miles on them

yea bro. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If your super concerned, you could take it to your mechanic and ask him to see if anything could be wrong, but other than that its just 130 miles. Although at first I read it wrong and I thought it said 209,000 miles. I was like, "thats ludacris! The previous owner must've driven it day and night!" i looked again and saw that it was a mistake
