A vehicle is technically classified as a 'Used Car' once it has been registered and titled, which has nothing to do with miles. You can purchase a 'Demo' from a dealership with 5,900 miles on it and although the warranty has already began, it is still classified as a 'New Car' because it wasn't titled to the dealership. I hope this helps!

Could be 1 or 1000. It is considered used after the first owner purchases the vehicle. A dealership can use the car for many miles and it is still considered "new".

In my opinion, it has to do with two factors. The model year and the miles. Let's say you buy a "new" 2007 vehicle today. This vehicle is no longer considered "new" when 2007 is over (or in some people's minds, when the "new" 2008 version of the same vehicle is released). Also, the vehicle is no longer "new when it reaches the average miles for that vehicle for one year (or the standard figure of 12,000 miles). For example, if you purchased a "new" Honda Civic, and most Civic drivers put 15,000 miles a year on their cars in the first year, then the car is no longer new when you go over the 15,000 mile mark. I hope this helps.

Miles don't really count. But as soon as it is registered to an owner, than it is used. I have seen "new" cars with 300 miles on the odometer.

The moment you drive it off the dealer's lot, it's officially a USED car. Mileage doesn't matter.
If you don't believe me, turn back around and ask the dealer how much he'll allow in trade on a different vehicle.

About 3 inches, but not for the car but the ink pen. If you are not the original owner, then it is used. If you are the dealership and you have been using the car as a loaner, then it is used, but you can soften the blow to the customer and say it is a demo.

Virtually the minute you drive it off the lot and go home.
Realistically, it is still a new car. of course, but technically, well, that is a different story.
It depends on who you talk to. To you its new. To the dealer you bought it from, it's now used.

This does not go on mileage, but actual ownership.

As soon as you sign the paper work and drive it off the lot it is considered used.
