I am pretty sure the dealer would be voiding your warranty if they found out you beat up the car before the break in period ended. There is a reason you are supposed to take it easy on the car for the first few hundred miles. I know the car wasn't delivered to you in that condition, but you have no idea what the dealer did to that car. I have read and heard of way too many horror stories where dealers and mechanics were caught by the cops speeding, get in an accident, or break something else in a vehicle dropped off for maintenance. You know they beat the **** out of that car. Hell, when I test drove TLs I would only take out a model I wouldn't buy, and I tested the acceleration with only 15 miles on the car (kind of feel bad). The manager played the embarrassed card to avoid having to take the car back (if that was possible).
I had the option to buy my TL from a dealer one hour away for the same price as one 3 hours away (both ridiculous deals), but when I called right before leaving I had them check the mileage (220+), and proceeded to make the 3 hour trip to pick up the one with only (24) miles.
