Although slightly different than your situation, when I leave our BMW M2 Competition for service, I photograph the odometer and leave strict instructions that it not be driven off the lot. Stories abound of mechanic misdeeds. Did you see the recent one in California where a dealer mechanic took a new corvette for a joy ride, raced a Challenger and hit 150mph? The owner discovered it on an imbedded dash cam. They ended up giving him a brand new corvette.
In your case, the worry is test drives. I'd do two things, first extract a promise from your sales advisor that absolutely no one is to drive it off the lot. Second, get a good friend to go to the dealer and take a picture of odometer when it comes off the truck. Even w/o the picture, if the car has more than just a very few miles when you take delivery, you'll know the answer. Get the promise, preferrably via email or something written.
If they sell it out from under you, sue them for breach of contract.
