Would you buy 05 6mt Sedan with 50 miles on it?
I would never buy one with 50 miles... When I test drove a sedan back in December, the salesperson let me get on it HARD. I remember the car having like 20-30 miles on it... so I would just order and wait or find one with less than 15 miles if I were you.
Bought mine with 900 miles off the lot from the manager driving it. Got 0 Deal on it (this is when the '04 were mega hott and mega new in '03)
7,800 miles into it, nicest ride on the streets no problems

I got my car with 40 and well ive seen Vipers being sold as NEW with as much as 90 miles on them... its not that bad as they are test drive miles. When you test drive a car, you go with one of the reps so that means you cant floor it without them stopping you. Its up to you though... is it worth paying more for it? Even worst... is it worth WAITING for?

^ you got a point there.
Well honestly, if it isnt too much of a price difference, and you can handle the wait, order one or you might later on regret it. If you get the 50miled car and then rattles appear or something, you will allways have the "what if I would have ordered it instead."

Im not saying you cant, but they will nag about it, at least a little... Anyway, while you may be allowed to go over 4k rpm, you wont be allowed to drift or do burnouts.
One of the break in tips ( http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm ) even suggest you floor it. So yeah, read that for comic relief.

What is more, salesmen, grease monkeys and all kinds of dumb car jockeys at the dealership make sure that each car gets its fair share of abuse before it leaves their lot. They never have to drive a car from their holding area or another dealer, so all miles are necessarily from test-drives. Of course most sedans are test-driven by 18 year-olds (in age or mindset) and all potential buyers beat the tar out of the cars just like our own Mr. reggiek. What if some high school kid who didn't know stick test drove it?? 
Don't forget the car is made out of lead crystal, it's so fragile that the smallest push is going to hurt it. To top it off, Infinitis don't come with warranty of any kind, so if your clutch goes bad at 2000 miles, you'll have to pay for it out of your pocket

Mine had 300 miles on it - and I'm not having any problems other than dings...(if only I can find a way to get around those rocks and bug at 70mph) - I believe in driving the hell out of my car while it's under warranty - after that I pray alot..

Reps don't give a **** about what you do with the car unless you start doing drifts or burnouts. They don't give a **** if you start flooring the car as long as you ask before you do it. I've always been able to floor the new cars on all of my test drives right up to the redline. Do you think they care about how the car breaks in? They just care about selling the car. That's all they care about, period.

I'm having a hard time understanding this - If you floor it, I'm screwed, If I floor it it's ok? I don't know about your coupe, but mine likes to be floored - I know this because it responds so well when I do...
