I think this discussion has ignored the main issue: Driving a cold car aggressively will accelerate wear on some parts of the engine and transmission, but have no effect at all on the rest of the car.
That wear might, at worst, shorten the lifetime of the drivetrain before major repairs are needed from 250,000 miles to 100,000 miles. That matters only if you want to keep the car a long time. I always buy new because I expect to keep a car for at least 200,000 miles. Life changes haven't always made that possible, but I don't want to preclude doing that by buying a demo. If someone changes cars every 4 years I can't see any mechanical reason to avoid a demo.

Or in this case, about 120 lbs right over the front wheels!

Demo here. No issues except the noisy exhaust flap. They replaced the muffler. CPO for another 3.5 years. I paid < 80% of MSRP for a car with 8k miles and CPO. Seemed pretty reasonable.
