Certified pre-owned. Includes 2 services, power train 6 yr 100k

That is a screamin' deal!

I paid $55,500 in July for my '18 with 3200 miles. Nav, exposed CF hood insert, CF dash, sunroof, A10, PDR, and NOT certified. And that was on par with all the other low mile 17/18s out there.

I got my 18 A10 last May with the sunroof, carbon fiber weave, pdr, nav, etc...with only 8200 miles on it for sale price of 52,900. There's better deals out there but you just gotta wait for one to pop up. I searched cars.com, cargurus, and autotrader for 3 months straight before I found the right one.

Hopped on it quick

Back in the summer, all the ones I was looking at on cars.com (red a10 only) under $52k had issues on their carfax reports. A lot of rear end collisions. Make sure you're checking the carfax!

Well, I've started contacting dealers. The first task is finding one with a car I want (options wise). Then we'll see how low I can get (before my patience runs out) I am shopping nationwide - makes next to no difference to me where it is, although something farther than 1000mi would be a bit more of a challenge logistically.

If I can't get well into the 50's, I'll be back shopping used, but hoping I can find the right deal.

Thanks to everyone so far - hoping we hear more.

ahm

I think $55K is the magic number. Pulling for you buddy!

Thank you. It was a unicorn. Timing is everything. For me to jump, I required the color black, carbon fiber hood insert, CF dash, and a sunroof (didn’t care about the transmission, but preferred the A10)......oh of course clean CAR FAX.

Good prices in my are were exactly what you paid, 55K.....6 months ago I almost jumped on a car I described that had less than 2500 miles. The car started at 59k and I thought, “If it drops to 55k, I’ll buy.” Sure enough, it dropped to 55k 3 months later. I hesitated and it was gone.... so I kept looking.

I was skeptical when this one popped up, but it was perfect when I went to see it. Bought new and returned to the same Chevy dealership. Clean Car Fax, serviced at the same dealership. A certified pre-owned warranty, 6 years 100k miles...2 years maintenance.

I had to slap myself.....I couldn’t find a reason NOT to buy it and believe me I was looking. I’ve been smiling since. What an amazing car!!

My advice is when you see the car you want, the price is good, and you can afford it.....buy it and be happy! These cars are great. I was just lucky....there was no negotiation....I just happened to stumble upon it on the day the ad went up.

I agree with the above reply! I thought the same thing about the 2017 I found on Cars.com last March! Too good a deal to pass up!

I know you said non 1LE but use it for reference. Just know this, most dealers don't want the ZL1 sitting all winter and that's what they'll do. I had dealers call me and beg me to take them as they know I buy a lot of cars. If they want to move them they can and will. But the monthly tags/rebates definitely sway the pricing. Gotta find a strong month and find a dealer who doesn't want it. If you are even remotely considering buying say a used 18 ZL1 you def want to be bottom 50's or you will lose your ss on resale. The values get tanked with these stupid rebates and stuff. There is a clean 1LE on here for 51K for reference. Hope this helps you a little.

Paid 50.7k (before taxes) for a 2019, 6 spd, PDR and Carbon fiber hood insert. Only had 1700 miles. Had to fly to Ohio and drive her back down to Florida 2 months ago.

That looks like a great deal to me! '19, super low miles, right options (at least to me). Yum color?

Summit White. While doing my research for over 6 months, not having a sunroof was a deal breaker for me. However, I had NEVER seen a ZL1 at that price for being practically new so I had to jump on it.

2019 ZL1 1LE Brand New 6MT no PDR $55,995. MSRP was $72,612. This was a NO BS honest number no trade over allowance etc. straight number with 3% finance rate.

this is one of the most 'interesting' things I've found - it seems, are least to me (in my searching so far), 1le doesn't command much, if any, premium in the used market. Unfortunately for me, it doesn't really matter since I really want an MRC car. But a weird quirk of the market for sure.

Totally agree on bottom 50's for an 18 or risk getting killed on resale.. And of course, it's a moving target - time goes on, cars get older - these are so young, they're still on the steep part of the depreciation curve..

A new zle (even a 19 leftover) at 56k is crazy!

Bought my Summit White 2018 ZL1 A10 with 1,600miles for $55,000 in October of 2019.

All options included, excluding carbon fiber hood insert. original sticker price was just under $70,000

I got my ZL1/1LE clone for 57K and change before ttl, Got it in September I think, it had 2700 miles and $10k in extra parts, I should have haggled a little more but after my 3rd drive in a 1LE on some back roads I changed my mind. White ZL1 sunroof carbon hood, no pdr, navigation /yes ! 20 inch wheels black powder coat, OEM 1LE parts, carnards, X-Wing, 20% ceramic tint, Expel front clip, borla 2nd cats removed Atak with black tips, Roto Fab dry filter ! It belong to a member here with 3 post. He mentioned it for sale in the wrong forum, and everyone over looked it, then I put the two together camaro6 and cargurus and my baby is out the in the garage (with my LS chevelle). Brought her from Houston to East Texas, were she will spend her days cutting up back roads and maybe a few road race tracks later !
No intention on ever selling !
