Most buyers definition of a "new" car is a car that has had a brief test around the factory's track for a quick shakedown, driven from the factory yard onto a truck, from the truck to the dealer yard and a brief check by the dealer. Any more than 50 kms would warrant a please explain and an expectation of a discount. I personally would not be happy paying full price for a new car to find out the dealer has taken a number of clients out for a few kms each. That car is secured by deposit and will be fully paid for by the buyer and is the buyer's property, so the dealer in most cases would not have permission (if they were to ask) to use someone's property for demo runs.
