Default How many miles were on your C8 when you got it?

I don’t have mine yet but it arrived at the dealer 2 days ago. I happened to have an appointment for my ‘67 yesterday so I got a good pre-prep look. The odometer says 94 which I thought was odd and bad. It might be 9.4 though.
Would QC put nearly 100 miles on a car? How many did yours have?

That looks like an estimate 94 miles left in the gas tank; not current mileage.

Mine arrived in Las Vegas with SIX on the clock.

Most people mix up the mileage left in the tank with the actual mileage on the car.

When they fill up the tank for delivery, don't freak out when it has 400 miles on it afterwards lol. Look at the meage on the left side of the cluster.

I thought the '55 miles to empty' was my odometer when I started looing around.......then I started reading and found the 5 miles listed on the odometer. I was glad to be wrong!
