Yeah, too bad they couldn't have had another battery to put in for you so you could check everything out.
My 2018 ZL1 is Black and I had the paint correction done and everything ceramic coated, including the wheels and brake calipers, even the interior and that makes a big difference when cleaning and maintaining
My 4x4 truck is black and that is my daily and that is ceramic coated also.
I have had black vehicles even my Harley for the last 20+ years and they look sharp when maintained
Hope you can check out another one where you can adjust the seat and get a better feel for it.

Many who have these Recaro seats say they break in a bit over time. Also, I don't see why a scuff mark on one panel would be a dealbreaker for a scorching hot ZL1 vert, you can always get that fixed to perfection one way or another, and it's a little bargaining chip, no pun intended.

One more thing about seats, the car has three seat memories, including one for exit position, it can be set to recall saved positions per key fob automatically, plus you can make it assume the exit position automatically when you kill the engine and open the door. These make ingress and egress much easier, along with seamless settings recall for two different drivers.

I set my exit position all the way back minus an inch, and as high as I can without bumping into the headliner. When I get in and press the start button, the seat slides forward and down on its own, augmenting the nice fighter jet cockpit feel I like about the car

Definitely try another one that has a working battery
