I found a 2019 ZLE with less than 4K for 65k a month ago. Had to drive down to Fl to get it.

If the dealership can't answer your questions, what about asking the closest Chevy dealership to the car, to do a PPI on it for you?

Or at least have the selling dealer put the car on a lift and start taking pictures of the exhaust and closer pics of the engine bay specifically pointed at the upper and lower pulleys.

May not get answers on anything internal but might get you more knowledge than you're getting now.

Just "typing" out loud....

I bought a 2017 off eBay with green belt, lower pulley, headers, cai and a tune. Had 33,000 miles for $35k. Car has been great and obviously had no warranty.

Thanks for everyone's feedback!

Going to just walk away from this one. Dealership has not been any sort of help, the kind you would expect when purchasing a $70k car, so I no longer have an interest in doing business with them.

Will keep searching. Thanks again!!

Imo, probably your best bet. Red flags are there for a reason. In the end, its just a car and there are others that will pop up.

if your worried about the mods, ask them to certify the car. I'd buy it and beat it like a red headed step child. Go ask questions on LS1 tech, these car boys here don't know much.

As a matter of fact sir, I have almost 20,000 miles on my shit and why would he go to LS1 Tech to ask questions about a LT4? Obviously you don’t know shit about the ZL1s that we are referring to! I’m done!

That car is NOT gonna sell. Not at that price and with the dealership playing that dumb and with that much of a lack of info on the car. If it does sell and at that price then it will be to someone who doesn't know better and they will end up getting screwed. So yea, go find a used ZLE at a dealership where they can give you a confirmed full warranty in writing and exact info on the car and probably a much better price too.

They are a high end car dealership, no doubt. I am going to give them a call later today and see what I can negotiate. The car itself meets my requirements of being a ZLE, 6MT, under $75k, and under 10k miles... if they can work with me on price or offer some sort of warranty I may have to bite.

I am very interested in the two sides here though... some of y'all saying just do it, others saying be weary... like I mentioned before, I had an 18 ZL1 and know how stout these motors are, it's not that I am concerned about the mods being done. I would just like to know what ALL has been done, where the car was tuned etc...

Will post an update once I contact them. Thanks again!!

No one is saying to be weary. That doesn't make any sense in context. One person said to be leery. Some said to be wary. Weary; no.

This is a bad buy unless a huge discount and/or they give you a power train warranty of some kind.

The statement was just that.......it is just a car! It is a material thing, just like a house, clothes, shoes, etc. All of which are easily replaceable. Read the entire post

I paid 10k less for a 19' ZL1 A10 with less miles a 6 weeks ago.....

As someone else said, ask them if they will have the car certified by GM for a warranty. If they will and the price is right go for it.

We cant even GM certify it with a catback on it, much less everything else thats been done to that one. So thats a no-go.

I bought my '18 ZLE a month ago for 60k. Had to fly out to texas for it. 6.2k miles.

I wouldn't buy a modded car unless i knew the history of the car, who did the work, etc. I have seen way too many times people's crappy work... If the car is local and you can easily check it out thats one thing. if you have to travel out there... the risk is too high for me personally.

When I was looking for a ZLE I saw both sides.. I would call about a car and they would say they have 2-3 deposits it on it and I can be added as a 3rd or 4th lol. Then some cars I would call on and getting any basic info or even a sales person to talk to me was like pulling teeth. Maybe they think I wasn't serious and am too far away?
