When I finally get mine I think I'd be so excited I'd put 200-300 miles on it before I made it from the dealer to home. :) Seeing quite a few with the "random testing" on it. The one I test drove had 22 miles of random testing. It seems more like they do it for fun if you ask me. :p Personally it would bother me to buy a new car with 20-30 miles on it if I special ordered it. If you think about it, that actually quite a few miles. I don't think I even drive 30 miles in a normal day with work and school. Obviously if you bought a car from a lot that's been there a couple weeks it might have been test driven a couple times.

Does anybody have paperwork (not window stickers) that indicates the testing mileage? In my case, when I finally got the chance to sit in mine, last Wednesday, it had 41 miles. Before that moment, while doing the finance paperwork, I received a printout to sign that indicated my car was delivered with only 5 miles. Naturally, when I put two and two together, I grumbled to myself and wondered if the sales person (or others) did more than just fill up the tank.
If it was a dealer stock on lot it could have been previously test driven more than once, and a salesman or two could have taken it out. When I test drove the ST near me it had a sticker for the tested mileage driven, the salesman told me as soon as the car came in he hopped in and took it for a drive, and I put about 17 miles on it. I didn't pay attention to the mileage it had on it but I figured the salesman would have taken it more than around the block so it would have had around 40 miles on it by the time I got done.
