Definitely not true. I have seen many cars outside the factory on the road undergoing quality control/post built analysis. From what I have seen this has actually increased when I was there last year. Cars are pulled out and randomly undergo quality control both inside the plant and on local roads around Bowling Green assembly.


There were 23 miles on mine. I know it went through a lot of quality control before it left the factory. I have pictures of the car in quality control. I told someone very high up in the plant after I did the engine build and buyers tour that I wouldn't mind at all if my car was selected for QC. Car was perfect and alignment was perfect by the time I took delivery at the Corvette Museum.

Seems that 2-3 miles at delivery is pretty common.

In my opinion, anyone that really bitches about a Corvette on a lot with less that 50 miles is really being a little too picky.

50th year

mine had 32 I was concerned when delivered but was told I was lucky that my car was selected for quality control. 3k now and only visit to the dealer was oil at 500

On average, most of them come in with 2 - 5 miles on them. Some with 6-8, and a couple with up to 12 miles.

It wouldn't concern me to see my factory ordered 2018 come with 15 or even 20 miles on it as I know that means it got pulled for QC. What would concern me would be if I were buying a new one out of dealer's stock and it had 30 or more miles on it as I know a few of those miles were probably from someone test driving it. I definitely would not like that.

If your car has been selected for a Global Quality Audit (GCA), it will be test driven at least eight miles, and if anything is found, will be driven longer to determine/fix the issue.

Got my 15 from Kerbeck with 6 miles on it.

Interesting, I wonder how a person can tell if their car has been tested like this?

50th year

I ordered my 17GS and when it came in it had 32 miles on it. That's the only way I knew for sure. They must have had to do some tinkering to get 32 miles on it. I look at it as both bad as it took 32 miles to figure it out or good that they went through everything. Who can say

Absolutely not true. Cars are randomly selected for an extra check. I saw one of these leave the factory for a test drive on the nearby roads when I took my tour. If a problem crops up the car is taken to the "Garage of Shame" where several techs work on the issue. It's right at the plant entrance and you can peek in the window and watch. There was a black vette in there when I walked by. I was told by NCM staff that the extra test could add about 20 miles to the car.

That seems unusual. It should have a couple of miles on it, regardless. I wonder how it could get from the final assembly point at the factory, to your dealer, without being driven at least a little.

If your car was selected for an additional quality control you will probably find that the phone was paired to a lady named Julie and have 23 miles on it, they have a circuit they use.

My '15 was not selected and had 2 miles on it when delivered

Mine was a factory order, it was tested at the factory, it came off the delivery truck with 22 miles, and it came with this.

Grand Slam

Mine had about 4 miles.

I think dealers drive each car a few mies for gas and a quick checkup. My dealer told me GM now puts so little gas into the cars before shipping that they have run out of gas driving to a gas station.

He started his car at the end of the assembly line. You can actually do this when you take a factory tour. I have a picture of mine with 0 miles too. The actually give you a certificate that says you "birthed a corvette" or something to that nature.
