Recall history question
I'm picking up up a 2000 Coupe soon, I called the Chevy dealership and they gave me the following recall service history.
Fuel Pump replaced
ECM reprogrammed
Column lock service
Radiator/beasel replacement?
Sounded like the standard stuff from my readings, anything I should be concerned with?

After that you can ask which tires and exhaust to get.

It has almost new OE tires, why would it need a new exhaust? Car has 28K miles.
I called at got the first info, a member was nice enough to send me the whole history right at the same time which I saw the CVMS. If it was used as a company car or something that doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy.

Company owned cars are usually well maintained. A corvette as a Company car is usually only provided to
a Sr. Manager , Executive or owner as a perk.
The driver gets everything needed done, since the Company pays...
I think they are among the best values in pre-owned Corvettes.

Hi there,
Which dealership did you ring?
Did you just have to give your vin number?
I would like to know if my 2004 A4 has had any recalls.
Thanks

Did you mean to not understand that? Am I missing something on the exhaust? I've focused on 02-04 all along, but the color combo I want is hard to find so I decided to include 00. I know they sometimes have oil consumption based on the ring design, but I wasn't aware of any other major reliability differences.

Oh, you are right I primarily hang out in the for sale section. I've been spending more time here now that I'm close on a purchase. Course I did the obligatory review issues/differences between years early on.
