I bought mine "used" with 300 miles. Now at 5k and numerous track days, I only wish I'd done it sooner.

I'd make sure they did a proper PDI (Pre delivery inspection). Everything that needed to be put on it on and everything that needed to be take off, is taken off.

The dealer does have a PDI checklist that their supposed to follow.

Exactly!!!!!!
But I did buy brand new. And I’m glad I got the 19 cause I like the taillights better than the 18s

I did almost the exact same thing. Mine had 500 miles. I love the car. I wish I wouldn't have worried about the ride of the ZLE being too rough. It's stiff, but nothing like some of these people make it out to be.

I wished I knew the A10 was coming for this car. I would have waited another 4 months.

But I did get the very 1st 2019 ZL1 1LE so that's pretty cool.

As far as price goes for such an expensive car they're not moving very far off of MSRP

Not much to worry about there since this one is already on the floor and wasn't something you ordered where extra things like custom fuel door etc have to be installed at the dealer.

Just make sure they took out the shipping spacers from the suspension

Exactly. I love the ride of the car. Sooooo much fun. I drive the car for literally hours on end. I never want to stop driving it even though I have to. Just pure enjoyment.

Im not sure what the 1LEs looks like but that dealer has it and if you talk to the sales person and tell them to ask the technicians for the PDI checklist, they will give it to you to ensure a proper delivery. I mean..... you are trying to buy the car from them.

Check to see if the car is equipped with PDR (Data Recorder) some are not, even if you don't use it, having it is good for resale, especially on the ZLE's.
