When I was looking for the STI, I test drove a Black Evo X at Wangara Mitsubishi that was being offered as a demo. Apparently the dealer principle used it as his daily. It had higher mileage than they were advertising and when I saw the scuff marks on the tyres and stone chips around the arches it put me right off.

Yeah, I guess they cover it all with the warranty, but for the extra coin (small % of the total price), I thought new was better IMO.

looking at either the impreza sedan or the mazda 3 sedan

Maybe that's different then, hopefully they won't have been thrashed?

yeah, was presuming performance car

if anyone has ever had a mate in the industry thats taken them for spins in thier weekend 'take home demo' car, you probably wouldn't ever buy a demo

So no different to 80% of people on this forum would do anyhow?

OP didn't say Subaru and plenty of guys on here have purchased cars for daily purposes and kept them stock, of all different makes

Mine is modded and tuned (no warranty anymore) although I did claim "other" warranty issues.

Partner's Tiguan will be traded at 3 years (end of warranty) so ...

I see no issue with purchasing demo vehicles.

This is a Subaru forum so why would I expect different?

I drive "Demo" vehicle's to and from work every single day. They aren't treated any worse than any other car i've owned or borrowed before - especially as I would be held responsible if any damage is done - the companies $2000 excess puts me off thrashing anything I drive!
