He also didn't say anything about the fact that I said "If I see it has been driven at all, I'm going to walk out on the deal. I don't want salesman, customers, porters, mechanics, or even Jesus himself to take that car out on the road. I don't care what the reasons are, I will not accept the car at all if this is the case. Pull it into the parking spot from the delivery truck and don't touch it until I get here."
By the way, the reason I say this is because I used to work for GM and I know that when ever new cars came in (like the 2005 Z06 when it first came out) the salesman hot-rodded the crap out of the cars before selling them. One of my friends who was a sales man at a dealership said that him and one other salesman when to the GM powertain plant and picked up 2 brand new Z06 Corvettes, and spent the next 10 minutes peeling wheel all the way to the dealership. The salesman at the Nissan dealership didn't deny that it happens there too. So no, I'm not being paranoid. It's no different from underwear IMO. I want to be the first and ONLY person to wear my underwear.

Hey crash not to burst your bubble, I understand that you want your car to read 1 mile on the odometer but that is not likely to ever happen since all cars will come from the factory with around 3-5 miles on it. I work at a Nissan dealer here in louisiana. You do not have an option not to have the techs to not drive the vehicle either
shockin? The reason why they have to, is because there are fuses and relays that have to be installed to the vehicle once it is delivered to the dealer. Called the PDI (pre-delivery-inspection) In which your radio fuses, heater and tire pressure systems are all reseted by the techs, as an example to reset the tire pressure sensor you have to get the car to a steady 40mph cruise before it goes off.. So cut your salesman some slack because if you put a deposit on that car and wait 2-3 months to get it I m pretty sure he wont let anyone touch it, since he doesnt get paid on that deal until the vehicle is delivered.
Enjoy your Z and know that the only person that drove it before was a highly qualified Nissan Technitian
