I would say that you should receive some consideration for buying a vehicle that isn't NEW, even though it is likely sold as a new car.
No.. it says in plain english that the "In Service" date starts to roll once the vehicle is delivered to the ultimate purchaser. Thus, if they offer you a standard 36k b2b/60k drivetrain warranty and you sign for the vehicle, the warranty begins to roll on that mileage and date going forward.

Example: Vehicle has 420 miles on it from test drives. Person goes to buy car. Signs & drives on that day. The warranty begins at 420 miles, and will extend to 36,420 miles for bumper-to-bumper, 60,420 miles drivetrain.
