Just make sure you check the oil, the 01 are known for oil consumption.

I had one good trip on our new '01 Z than the weather turned. Will leave the first of the month for a round trip to Florida and back. This is the greatest road car that I have ever had.
Have your chevy dealer check to make shure that the steering wheel lock mod has been completed. Check FAQ on this.
