No, didn't get the Mercedes. There was no limit on how many miles (at least not that I am aware of). We had the car for a few days and then returned it. It was a brand new one, yes. I did like the drive and the turbo really lit the thing up on the highway, passing.
I've been offered to take cars for a day numerous times when car shopping - though it does tend to happen more often when it is a higher end dealership. I had a Porsche for a day some years ago when I was considering one (didn't end up going that way). It's not really so unusual, but generally won't be offered unless they feel you're a qualified and serious potential buyer. They don't make offers like that to guys like the original poster who likely come in with flailing arms, frothing and foaming at the mouth and calling the sales people names.
