Hi.
I wouldn't worry about it. You can always negotiate for a lower price using that as your ammunition. Or leave if you do not honestly think you are getting a good deal. It is your money after all; my mindset when I walk into a dealership to buy a is..."hey it's my money, I don't care about your salary or commission Mr. Salesman because I worked just as hard as you to earn this." As brutal or rude as it sounds, if you approach with this in mind you will never get swayed by the mish mash coming from a dealer.
With that said, if there were any concerns about what kind of miles or how they were accumulated, there shouldn't be a problem. If the car was driven hard, that's fine. I would be more worried if the car was driven softly.
Break in does not occur over a thousand miles, or even a hundred miles. It happens in the first minute. Think about it. When you have thousands of pounds of pressure acting on simple mechanical components...things get shiny and smooth real fast. That's why it is so important to change the oil right away after you buy it (given that the car was theoretically at 0 miles). This eliminates the manufacturing imperfections when you dump the oil...not down the sewer of course! haha.
Anyways, the bottom line is: negotiate if you feel that he car is worth less than the asking price.
