i got to my '09 Fit Sport Navi MT (if any of that matters, doubtful) a couple of hours after it was delivered off the truck. I helped tear the plastic off the seats and watched most of the pre-delivery setup (screwing in the rooftop antenna, checking fluids, installing fuses, etc.). As it was started to move from the dealer lot to the service bay it had 2 miles on it. SO, it accumulated 2 miles before it was put on the transport truck. ??
I test drove it 2 whole miles so it had 4 at delivery.

^^^ Brian, two miles is pretty low. You have to consider how much the cars have to be handled before getting loaded onto the transport truck to the dealership.
- Manufacturing floor to the factory storage lot.
- Storage lot to whatever mode of transport (train, truck) to the origin port.
- Taken off the train or truck and moved to its spot at the port staging area awaiting the ship.
- Driven onto the ship.
- Driven off the ship and parked at the destination port.
- Loaded onto the transport truck to either another storage lot or direct to the dealership.
Keep in mind that the ships don't always dock right next to the storage lots where the cars are parked, and cars may have to be shuffled around. This can affect the mileage considerably.

My car only had 4 miles... I was wary of whether they did the appropriate checks on it before handing it over to me.
On a slightly related note, do the Sports come shipped with wheel locks? We ordered the wheel locks uninstalled, but the salesman said they put them on before he could clarify...
