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)

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.

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.

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.

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
