Mine had 60 miles on it upon R8C Museum Delivery, but that's with slightly unusual circumstances. As it was one of the very first Stingrays built, it was held over 4 weeks for very thorough QC inspections. Part of that included test drives. Extensive test driving is actually part of the QC process and a car is randomly selected periodically for such a drive.

Its common for a 3-4 miles to be on a new car depending on shipping procedures too. In my case, the warranty takes the miles into account and expiration is stated at 36060. My car at 23650 miles has also been virtually trouble-free, so a few extra miles up front doesn't bother me.
