How many miles did your GR Corolla have when delivered and which Port did it process through?

Having taken delivery of my GR Corolla, I was surprised that it had 19 miles on the odometer directly off the truck and before the Pre Delivery Inspection. My car came from the LA Port. I asked about mileage and was told that 19 miles is low. I still have a hard time believing that, if you have taken delivery of your GRC, can you please post the mileage on purchase and which Port your car was processed through? Here is a picture of my odometer while it sat waiting for the PDI. When the car was delivered to me it had 24 miles on the odometer before I drove it off the lot. Thanks

10 miles when I picked mine up from the dealer, they said they also went to put gas in it for me as well.

Not a GRC but same general concern. When I bought my Type R it had 9 miles on it. The dealer had it for about a week before I bought it. When I do get a GRC, if the mileage seems a little high I plan to ask the dealer to pull any logs or other data. I figure Toyota has something built in to record that information for warranty purposes. That way if anything happens, I have record that it occurred prior to my possession.
Mine was purchased with 9 miles on the odometer. And I purchased in PA, no clue what port. I know it sat at the dealer for 4 days before I was able to get there. Assuming the Sales DORK and the tech took it for a spin to SEE WHAT ITS GOT! As well the port ppl moving it etc.
@VT_CRC and @snowrx , apologies for the thread drift but thanks very much for sharing your experience with the dealers and their pressure to get you to sign up for data sharing. I wasn’t really prepared for that conversation

Up until the last two posts, I wasn’t feeling it, but now I kinda do feel lucky! Thanks for the perspective!

Yeah, out of my hands. I can’t speak on what happened but there’s a 30 mile discrepancy on the car that is unknown. Even with the contract at 30 some miles, it had 30 extra.
Long story short people were driving the cars more than they were suppose to, whether that be the port or at the dealer. Lol

Just asked my dealer to send pics of the odometer from my car as the car has just landed. It has 22 km on the clock, which is around 13.5 Miles. It doesn't look too bad, and there are videos on Snapchat of people revving it.

Not much you can do. At least it's finally here. Picking it up in a couple of days.
Mine came through Portland Oregon port, had 9 miles on odometer when I picked it up at dealer in Akron Ohio.

Did yours land in Portland on the 29th?
17, NJ I think
Jan 17th? That’s when mine landed in NJ/NY and the processing date keeps getting pushed back.

It arrived at the port January 7th, processing was January 24th and it came off the truck yesterday. 17 was the mileage
How does that make any sense? Both cars landed in the same port on the same day headed for the same state. And yet you've got yours, and mine is still in Portland. I'm happy you got yours, but I sure wish they would do something with mine already.
Wasn't yours the one that came through New Mexico? Mine is supposed to come through Chicago. WTF.

Yes, shipped by train to Santa Fe, then trucked to Akron.

I had never really thought about what a nightmare the logistics are, with thousands of cars packed on a big ship, then getting them off, and on trains and trucks, etc.
