Congrats on the new ride, enjoy it cause 1 day you will look back and wish it had only 140 miles on it 
and for the black swirls, get used to them and spend time on www.autopia.org, I wash and wax my black max every weekend, black shows everything

Mine had 52 miles. That's because I showed up at the dealership at 3 PM on a Saturday and 4 other people had test driven it before I got there and another person test-drove it while I was finishing up docs for the funding and once completed, promptly told them to stop letting people drive the car. The car had about 13 miles before the dealership opened that day.
They add up fast but I wouldn't worry about it at all.
Cheers,
Kermee

2) I can see quite a few swirl marks and couple tiny scratches. Is this normal for a black car, or did I buy a car that was potentially not taken the best care of?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I really appreciate it. I guess it's my fault for being impatient. But the Lexus dealers made it seem very complicating to order the car, so I kinda got frustrated. I hope there isn't anything seriously wrong with the car... does anybody know if it matters that I got the assistant manager to give me in writing that the car was not a demo?
