Why so many used ZL1'S ?

Seems kinda strange that there's so many already used Z's for sale. Any ideas why :

Well that's a nice trade up congrats. Just seems there's a lot of them with low miles being sold.

Around here a lot of the dealers got them in, and so no one could use the GM discount programs on these cars...they bought them and now they are offered for sale as used. There were quite a few "used" ZL1's at dealers near me with 100- 200 miles on them. That just doesnt normally happen.

Plus lets face it ...how many people want a $60k plus camaro?

So it's possible some of these low miles cars were just test drives?

Or they could have been loaner cars maybe?

A loaner ZL1? I can see a loaner LS, but a ZL1?

Nope, loaners can only be used and sold as such with a few thousand miles on them before GM gives you the cash.

100-200 miles sounds like a car that the dealership was all excited to have, took it out and beat on it, showed off to their buddies and brought it back. Seen it happen all the time.

I'd always be wary of buying a used car that's only months or even a year old.

Yeah, the first 100-200 miles were either "drive it like you stole it" or "drive it like a rental"... Personally, I'd never buy an old rental car, I know how I drive them.

That's any car brand. Look up Honda Accords and Toyota Camry's lately? Every car has used cars on the market. Look at the 570s. 458 Italia. Same shit. People buy new, trade in. Upgrade. Downgrade. Whatever their reasons. Who cares.

What is your definition of “so many”?

Cargurus shows only four used 2017-18 ZL1 for sale within 100mi of Marydel.

this type of thread pops up on every car forum i’ve been a member of, needless to say i to almost sold my 2017 ZL1 a month after i bought it and then it was almost traded in on a new Raptor i bought 2 months ago but guess what i already sold the 2018 Raptor with 2k on it and the ZL1 is still in the garage waiting for spring.
