No it should not. Same with the factory warranty should not be affected until the car is registered.

I leased a Subaru Impreza 05 demo back in Sept 2005 with about 600 or 6000 miles on it (forgot which #), but point is the miles that were on it DID NOT count towards the mileage allowance. Also, this may not matter to you, but it did to me because I believe this helps with the insurance; demo cars should be considered new vehicles because they have never been given the titles to an owner.

Again like they said it depends on the manufactuer. Ford doesn't count the demo miles up to 5000 miles but the warranty on ALL cars go to miles on the odometer not miles you put on. So if you have a demo with 4,000 miles on it and you have a 3yr 36,000mile coverage then once the odometer reaches 36,000 miles your coverage is gone.
