Bought a 2014 - RARE FIND
I bought a new (used?) 2014 Stingray today. It only had 8 miles on it. I traded in my 2008 C6. It has 3LT, auto, and Z51 pkg. Night Race blue with a gray interior, It was originally sold to a Casino. They had it on one of those rotating platforms, apparently for the Grand Prize I guess. Over time, two people had won it, but took the cash equivalent instead. The dealer eventually bought it back, and tried to sell it. It was kept inside the entire time. A Chevy dealer close to me bought it. Just for precaution, all of the fluids were changed...engine oil, diff oil, brake fluid etc. For peace of mind, I bought a bumper to bumper service agreement. Now I need to spend some time with the owners manual and/or You Tube to figure out all the controls.

Lowest mileage 2014 in the country. Give or take 1 or 2 cars. Hopefully the price you paid reflects the fact that the car is 5 yrs old.
A rare find indeed!
Good luck with it!

Great find if in condition that would be expected of a car with only 8 miles on the odometer. Congrats, please post photos.

8 miles on a 2014? Good grief!
Maybe the car is not considered "used" if it was never actually titled. Your tires are five years old now, but I suppose they're still good to go since the car was not stuck sitting outdoors in all kinds of weather. Good to know that all fluids have been changed.
Post some photos and drive that car!

I would have made them replace the battery too but you got that covered with the warranty.

That's a heck of a find! The only issue is the minute you drive down the road a mile, it is now a 5 year old used car
