Mileage on your new vette when picked up?

I had 3 miles and put an extra 4 cause I had to go home and get my check book. They put a dealer tag and I went home since it was 4 miles round trip, so total of = 7 miles

Mine had four miles on it. The break-in period was tough on me. I had never had a new car before. Driving "slow" was torture; glad that's over.

Mine sat on the dealer lot for two months. But I know the route they take for test drives so I know it wasn't driven hard in the 31 miles...

3 miles on it when I started test drive 21 on it when I we got back to dealer. Sales person a little nervous about how many miles on test drive , but I just reinforced what I said before test drive. If car performs ,does not shake rattle or roll it is sold . Deal was done before test drive on paper & if car performed papers would be signed on return. Done Deal on return we were both very happy !

Bought my '03 AE from dealer inventory, so it had around 30 miles.
But the '06 was built for me with 3 miles racked up before I took delivery.

2 miles, and it's hard to drive it for 498 more miles without going over 55-65. It's like trying to hold back a greyhound after they have seen the rabbit. It just want to gooooooooooooooooooo

I didn't have the opportunity to see 0 on mine, but I'll take the 1! I made sure with my sales guy that it wasn't driven when it came off the truck. If it was to be driven hard the 1st 500, it would be done by me in which I did not do....
