This is correct.GM begins their various warranties (new-car, powertrain, emissions, etc.) based upon the “in-service” date and mileage.
If a dealer uses the vehicle but is is still under the MSO (manufacturer’s statement of origin), the warranties will begin when it is sold and titled.
If the dealer used the vehicle, but “sold it” to and titled it (even to their own organization - such as use as a rental), then the warranty began at the in-service (titled) date.
Manufacturer’s warranties do not begin the day the vehicle left the assembly line.
When I bought my 2024 Tahoe it had 400 miles on odometer and was used by a dealer in the same state as me but not my local dealer.
When I bought the Tahoe it had 420 miles ( thought that was a good omen) the odometer and they started the warranty from there and the date of sale ( I told the dealer to wait a couple days after I gave him deposit) so date of sale would be 4/20/2024
The numbers seemed pretty awesome Shoulda bought a lottery ticket but I never buy lottery tickets
