I go through cars every 2-3 years. There's always something newer/better/different out that I want, so that's why I'm selling mine.
Other than a couple of wiring issues, it's been solid. You wouldn't have any more issues than you'd potentially have with an SS, so go for it. |

I just sold mine. Amazing car and handling and stopping is like nothing I had ever drivin but there was a few things that bugged me so much I had to get rid of it. The seating position and the view out the windsheild absolutely drove me crazy and not being able to recline the seat far enuff for me was uncomfortable. The looks and performance of this car are remarkable. In may of 2017 me and my son ran 11.07 in stock form and at the time was one of the fastest stock times in the nation for a zl1. With the headers tune pulley and rotofab I went 10.80 @ 135. Awesome car just not the car for me.

I'm liking the ZL1s that are showing up with low miles for sale with great pricing. I will be moving up to one in the next three years from my 2SS. The wife? I finally drove her out to my mine road "track" and walked her through a few 0-60 pulls and she freaked out because she hasn't been able to get that pit of the stomach feeling she used to get from rollercoasters after having a baby made her nauseous from thrill rides. I just found her new thrill ride, negotiating the ZL1 will be no problem...

I think the C8 is going to drive alot of movement among GM enthusiasts because it is such a departure. For those that have always been curious of a Cayman or 911 but are partial to affordable push rod power this is a huge opportunity. Also muscle cars in general are struggling.
I follow all domestic performance cars, and can't say I notice more low mileage ZL1's than other comparable cars. There are loads of low mileage, multiple owner Hellcats and GT350's. People that can afford toys can also afford to change them up often. |

Others have said it, but this car falls into a class that enthusiasts will buy and some enthusiasts rotate cars somewhat frequently. This isn't the case for all buyers, but I would bet good percentage for this car for sure. I go through cars much faster than any reasonable person should. I had my '18 ZL1 for 18 months and loved it. It was rock solid and never once gave me an issue. There's really nothing even close for this amount of money and few things at 2-3X the price that put up these kinds of numbers.
The only reason I got rid of it was I wanted to try a convertible. I tried an M4 vert and that lasted 4 months until it was gone. Such a performance let down after coming from the ZL1. Lesson learned. |

I think most of the guys have nailed it, it’s generally a second vehicle and thereby a toy that sees less use and gets exchanged for a new toy more often. Mine falls in that category, I drive mine maybe 2 times a week 9 months of the year. I don’t intend to sell mine anytime soon but when I do it will be extremely clean with lower miles. I would love to drive mine more often but it is truly a toy that I greatly enjoy using when I get the opportunity.
As far as the wife goes, I’m lucky there. My wife and I are a team and we own several fast things and greatly enjoy using them together. |

Why people sell? Too loaded a question. It always 'depends'.
It's a toy - unless you are looking at an investment - it almost always gets sold for something newer. For adults, some of us get bored fast and always look forward to 'Christmas morning' if you know what I mean. We grow old but we never grow up. It's terrible but hey - #firstworldproblems

Someone just traded a 2019 ZL1-1LE at our dealership for a Scat Pack Widebody. Not sure why, wasn't my customer. Car is beautiful. But yes, I see it a lot. The trick is, most of these folks start with great equity. When you do that, swapping out for something different or the latest and greatest is pretty easy.

So one thing I did not see mentioned was the true cost of operating and maintaining a high performance car. The initial cost some people can reason it out into a budget, but then the secondary costs hit about 6 months late like oil changes, insurance, and the big one is tires. Once you realize the you would need to shell out 2k every year of you are putting alot of miles on it. I think people end up trading it on something more practical.
