A Chevy dealer will know the model, and can put it on a hoist to fully inspect it. Their body shop can spot unreported damage that someone here willing to help you out with an inspection can’t.
The bumper to bumper has likely run out but there’s probably some power train warranty left. 60 months from in-service date, which can be found on the carfax.
My guess on the “deal” price is that it’s a manual. 95% of people can’t even drive them anymore, and the ones that can want a V8.
Looks nice in the pics if it’s as-advertised. Could use some cleanup under the hood but otherwise seems decent.
Good luck!

Thank you for the sound advice and recognizing that's the exact car that I wanted. I originally wanted the LS. When I asked to test drive one at a chevy dealership, they put me in a 2LT. I was blown away by ambient door lighting, head-up speedometer display, and leather seats. The i4 turbo already blew my mind (I drive a nissan altima with a defective CVT). And the RS had 20 inch rims and those LED daytime lights are soooo cool!! So from that point on, it had to be a black 2LT with RS package. I went with the M6 because of the A8 shudder problems. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if I can work out a PPI!
