thinking of picking this up Saturday. they accepted my offer at 50k but the car has had 3 owners according to the car fax. at 10k miles what do you guys think?

I don't mind the mileage or the 3 owners but I'm not crazy about 1 oil change during those 10k miles. It's a track car and a beast, personally I'd be hesitant without proper maintenance records. But the price is pretty good considering we pay 43k for our 1LE's and a new ZLE is around 63k. Tough call.

Do it!

3 owners??? To me, big red flag... What is everyone running from? I personally wouldn't touch it...

Something seems off.

Make sure that ZLE has meticulous maintenance records.

Not to state the obvious but, you’d be the 4th owner of that ZLE with only ‘10,508’ miles...

I’d be wary. Proceed with caution.

I agree... but then the harsh ride is sometimes reason for a quick trade in on these and it is a 2018 and 3 years old now.

Tough choice

thats what I'm worried about, only service record it has is one oil change within 10k miles. and 3 owners within a year and a half seems fishy. one owner had it a month

Those stats would be alarm bells to me. Not only just 1 documented oil change, but no proof of diff and tranny maintenance. 3 yr old means no bumper to bumper warranty and the remaining 2 yrs of drive train warranty could be invalidated if you cannot prove that proper maintenance had been followed. To this end id be a lot happier buying a car like this from a GM dealer, which to some extend would be obliged to stand behind the product if it turned out a lemon. Nissan? Zero commitment. Besides, usually, folks dont buy such cars to dump them a month later and take a bath financially.
13k is a good chunk of money to save, but not enough to take a potentially big financial risk should the car turn out to be a lemon outside of a main warranty and with severly lacking service/history records. Lastly, keep in mind if YOU ever needed to dump it, you'll be a 4th owner...and even if there is nothing wrong with the car, its value will be diminish greatly just because of it.
Personally, id give it a wide pass and if 650hp is the magnet here, id consider splitting the difference and getting a new ZL1.

I'm going against the grain here, I don't see anything wrong with it. Even though it shows 1 oil change on record, doesn't mean it's only had one oil change. Personally, I would have offered 48.5, and see if they took the bait. The 3 owners don't scare me even in the slightest, especially at only 10,000 miles.

Factory warranty for what.. another year and 25K miles on the B2B, you also get carfax guarantee buyback if something was wrong with it. You have nothing to lose. Call the VIN into Chevrolet dealership and ask about records on the car, they should be able to give them to you.

Do a test drive, have them put it up on a ramp and give the underneath a thorough inspection.... If it feels right go for it, if not walk away.

I stand corrected. Good news there is still a year left.
I still would give it a pass because of 3 owners in 2 years. Full stop. But that's me
