How many miles are normal for a brand new Boxster?

I just purchased a new Boxster S with odometer reading of 92 miles. Is this too high for a new porsche? This is like ~8 test drives, more than average I guess. I remember when the first time I test droved a new boxster, the dealer didn't tell me during break-in period the rev shouldn't go higher than 4.2k, and I was constantly driving at 5k~6k rpm. I can just wish other test drivers of my car didn't abuse it too much.

And on this car I can feel slight jerk when I press or release the throttle a little fast (not very fast) in low gears. And when I turn off the engine, I can feel a slight left to right shaking of the whole car. Not sure if these are normal. I don't remember I felt similar things when I test drove another boxster s with 24 miles on it.
