Dealerships selling way too high for used C7?

[EJChevy]

Not purchased yet.... You recommend or you don't recommend the Firehawks? Your post contradicts itself.

Typing Error.

Meant to say "I cannot recommend these enough". I'll fix my post.

Tell me what you think and I'm calling the salesman right now.

I am definitely going Michelin AS3+ZP or if unavailable the new Michelin AS4ZP that the C8 come off the factory floor with.
If budget come into play ... then Continental Tires but they are not run flats (ZP = zero pressure = run flat)

 

[EJChevy]

Oh yeah, the Firestones are not run-flat tires.

I meant what do think about the car in general?

Ok cool I wondered what ZP meant.

Car looks sweet. I see CarFax appears to have 4 reports on it when I clicked it. I would assure yourself of what is on the Report. The Corvette you are considering is the same year as my 2016 C7 that is a 3LT Z51 MSRP $90k (no mag ride) (mine is long beach red color) so you should enjoy this Corvette Compliment. I am not aware of the East Canada Used Pricing Market but the price is at the top end for Alberta with those kilometres on it. Even if you pay very close to the top end of asking price, I know you should be a happy Corvette Driver. Mag Ride, Video Recorder, and it appears to have the dry sump system which is almost a Z51 package because I don't see slotted brake rotors that Z51 has on the 2016 Stingrays. It has the upgraded exhaust which is nice. So I would say you have a reasonable specimen to consider as you own (subject to that carfax report)

That is a decent price for what you are getting.

First time I try is carfax thing, 55$ plus tax to check it out.

Agree ... bitter pill to swallow ...
and purely for peace-of-mind

I hope is that it is just standard
maintenance logs being reported

The dealer will have this info for free.
4 car fax items are usually used up with initial registration, and 1st service (2nd, 3rd,)

Ok I found a free one, it seems it's only factory recalls.

I just sent a revised offer of 51.5K and if he accepts I'm putting a deposit to lock in the deal. Prices on the east side of the country are a lot higher than the west but then it's like 2K for shipping, maybe more.

Best of Good Fortune is being wished ...

It is not a Z51 or dry sump car....See the oil fill on the driver side rocker cover. No slotted Z51 discs.

But it still looks like a very good car and it only has 24,000 miles

Exactly dyoung, it's a basic stingray but he ordered a ZF1 package and added all the looks and bells and whistle without being a Z51. It's built like Z51 except the performance parts of rotors and sump.

Here's what i found online :

NEW! “ZF1 code” Appearance Package,
includes (Q7S) 5-split spoke, Silver-painted aluminum, 19″ front and 20″ rear wheels or (Q7T) Black aluminum, 19″ front and 20″ rear wheels, (XFJ) P245/35ZR19 front and P285/30ZR20 rear, performance tires and (TTV) carbon flash-painted rear spoiler and outside mirrors

It looks like a Z51 but it's not.

The Z51 has dry sump, bigger slotted brakes, electronic slip differential, heavier shocks and springs. ( which makes mag ride a must have option ), Heavier front stabilizer bar, an added rear stabilizer bar that the base car doesn't have, extra tx and differential cooling and different gear ratios.

The car is still good car and I hope you will enjoy it, especially the standard transmission.

Either the salesman's boss who is gone for the night, the seller is thinking about it or didn't get the offer in or is insulted I dared to offer 500$ less than his minimum. In any case it's nerve wracking.

 

[YFCvii]

I see the oil cap now. Did not know it was drivers side. Glanced at passenger side and for some reason the photos wont zoom in for me. Regardless ... you know the added options

 

[Tango]

If you can read French here's the birth certificate.

 

[dyoung]

Looking at the build sheet it has another good option......Magnetic ride...

Hang in there, hope they accept your offer.

Congrats on the purchase!

I cannot recommend Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 enough. I've used them on every car I've owned and they are phenomenal tires for the price. I have had more grip in the wet with these tires than any other I've tried and they grip for days in the dry. I have even used them on the track and found them to be very progressive and forgiving when you're pushing their limits.

Paul has had those tires and I have read good things about them as well
