But realize that those 30km probably have already seen numerous redlines already!
I went for a test drive two weeks ago in a Boxster S with just 12 miles on the odometer. The sales rep drove me to the turn around point about 2 miles down the road, obviously to show me what I'm "allowed" to do, during which he redlined practically every single shift. I (pretending to be naive) asked if that OK since there is a recommended break in period. He said, oh that's just legal stuff, the engine was designed for this.
Why do they care? they're just trying to sell the car---not at all involved later when the engine has a failure. It's a problem in general with the new car business which is why I chose to either buy my boxster with 70k on the clock (shows it is likely OK if it has survived on the same motor) or spec it out, order it brand spanking new and request it never sees another driver but me!
