19 miles when it rolled off the hauler. Dealer said BG must have run it through some testing. Have had it about 2 mos....no problems at all with it.

Mine had 12 miles, which I complained about. IMO a "new car" should have no more than 4-5 miles on the clock, and what I don't want is a car that has been demoed--even once, as I don't know how it was driven in the critical break-in period. Their explanation was that this was normal since they do a PDI drive, which I accepted and moved on.

"Mileage may vary" is so true. Typical would be 2-3 miles for a new Vette if you bought it right off the truck. If your Vette set on the dealer's lot for a period of time (my 2019 GS was on my dealer's lot for over a year since most buyers wanted to wait for the C8), then you may have found 6-12 miles on your Vette. In some unique cases, Vettes were kept at the plant for QC purposes and may have been delivered with up to 200 miles, but the buy was usually told why. Enjoy your Vette regardless of how many miles were on it at delivery.
