As for the managers and the salesman taking the cars for a spin, we had a demo car brought to the dealership today by a guy that has been driving cross country demonstrating the car to the salesman and even allowed all of them to take it for a spin (after they signed a waiver).
But yeah, if you pre-ordered and it ends up with anything over 15 miles, I would definitely be pissed.

Wow! Most the other postings are so low. Mine arrived on 7/15 at the dealer (evening) and I bought it with
47 miles on it.

Mine had 4 off the truck and two added by the PDI and salesman to fill it with gas.
Technician told me that they have to run these for a couple of miles to burn something from the exhaust when it comes in. They have to redline in 1st and 2nd gear as part of the procedure.

I know the ones at our dealership will have a couple of extra, as we are going to the gas station to use 91+ octane for our customers and not just filling it up with our tank on the lot which is 87 octane.

If anyone still cares:
6 total miles at Delivery
4.4 of which was placed by Dealer Tech to drive it as part of PDI.
Clearly anything over 10-12 miles means someone got either a test drive or joy ride. If you get screwed, just print this entire thread and show the dealer!!!
