5 or 6 miles and they gave me a full tank of gas. Do they do that now?

How did you find out how many miles are on it? Was it a Syracuse or Rochester area dealer?

I agree - pays to be certain before making an accusation that could be wrong.

Yeah, we need more information. Was it an order, or are you buying it off the lot? If you ordered the car, and it really has 400mi on the OD, I'd be calling Chevy customer care immediately. If it was sitting on the lot, then yeah, it probably got demo'd. Since you have no bargaining power in this environment, you'd have to decide if you want to buy a demo or walk away. Personally, I'd walk. 400mi is almost broken in and I would wager they haven't been a gentle 400mi. It could be totally fine, or it could have future issues from ground up DCT gears. Who knows.

I remember seeing quite a few people here on the Forum confusing the odometer with the Miles to Empty display back in 2020 when the C8’s were first getting delivered. Havent seen anyone make that mistake recently…

OP hasn't responded yet. This is probably because of what he found out. Could be two things...He either is out enjoying the new car or he is in the county jail right now.

He has been on the forums listing parts for sale. Wondering if he was actually looking at the gas mileage amount and just didn't want to report back.
