Anyone that expects there to be zero miles on a new car, is just not in the real world. It would have some mileage on it, just getting it off of the assembly line, to a truck, then from the truck to the dealership. Then into the dealership to be prepared for delivery. It is detailed and checked over, and that will even put a little on the speedometer. Then the car needs to be test driven, to see if there are any problems that need to be taken care of.

Right. My mom's '91 Camaro was her first new car. It had over 300 miles on it since it was driven down from Dallas to Houston. It was a very reliable car, too. I guess the idea is that if it was going to break down because it was a piece of junk, it would have done so halfway to Houston.
86 miles is nothing to worry about because you should have signed an odometer statement (which also should start your warranty) that verifies the miles. I worked in auto sales and there were times we made dealer trades from San Antonio to Houston (which is close to 200 miles).
I would think that you wanted a specific color, trim line, etc. and that is why they made a dealer trade for the vehicle. Also, I would think that you were advised that they would have to get it from another dealership since you already agreed to everything before the vehicle arrived. Otherwise, you could have waited until that dealership received the specific car you wanted.
IIRC, a new car is considered a new car if it has less than 500 miles and was never registered. Demos that have a thousand miles and more are usually priced with a significant discount.
Decades ago. I worked at a car manufacturing plant. We had a huge lot around the plant to store vehicles before being shipped out. We would use one vehicle to shuttle drivers around to park cars, putting on maybe 150 or so miles on a vehicle before parking it and going to another one to use.We would on ocassion drive vehicles directly to a dealer. Had it been a high performance vehicle, lets just say fun was had. This still goes on today.If they have to locate and go after a vehicle, thoroughly check out your vehicle before you take delivery.
From all the pages of comments, it apparently is considered to be a big deal!
If you read those comments, you would not say that. No one Yet thinks the OP should be concerned.
