I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but a lot of manufacturers start the odometer with negative miles to account for this exact scenario. I had one of the very first BMW 135i's in, and when I picked it up, it had -1 miles on it. That's correct, I had to drive it for a mile to get to 0! So don't feel bad, apparently others have the same issue and some manufacturers are smart enough to account for this.

OP, you're right, it shouldn't be about the money. To someone that has just landed their first real job getting a new FR-S, this is just as important as the millionaire getting his LFA. It's a matter of perspective.
