Like another poster already stated, you bought it so you own it. So what difference does it make at this point?

Are you feeling "buyers remorse"?

Good Luck with this one.

Yep, exactly. Plus its certified pre owned so it will carry an extended warranty I am guessing.

Anyone know if there is a link to getting the original sticker from the Corvette Museum?

Absolutely not, just frustrated with the infotainment thing, but apparently that is widespread with the 14's. Everything else is perfect so far.

It appears you were given some erroneous info by a forum member. Enjoy your car, you did good!

You can go to your dealer and ask them to run a "Vehicle Build Information" sheet on your VIN (using the "Workbench" system).
It will tell you every option the car was built with. The dealer can also generate a report showing any work, warranty or non-warranty, that has been done at a GM dealer.

Most ever car ever made has a lot of CarFax issues. Most of them mean nothing. They just want you to purchase the CarFax.

Thank you sir. The carfax had a bunch of meaningless stuff on it honestly. No accidents, odometer fraud, or anything like that. Title is clear.

Blue Demon:

If you're referring to my posts, I only post and contribute what I find. As noted below, I used the words...........

You would have been better off pricing a 2016, perhaps a base Stingray at about the same you paid for the 2014 with 12,000 miles.

Looks like the C7 was also originally for sale at a Hyundai of Deland dealership then wound up at Coggin Chevrolet in Jacksonville.

Did you get a copy of the Carfax from the dealer to see the registration history of the vehicle? Carfax is state they have 19 reports on this C7 which is way to many. Something does not seem right!

Did you buy the car from Coggin Chevrolet?
As other CF members have posted the VIN Decoder may only be showing the MSRP without options. It is possible.

Are you feeling "buyers remorse"?
When accessing the VIN # provided by the OP, the Carfax clearly states there are 19 items reported on the Carfax reference the VIN# provided. The OP asked for opinions if he paid to much, I provided my opinons with some data presented. The OP never stated that he read or had a copy of the Carfax until he posted his comment after my post.

The OP is the one that made the determination to buy the C7, not me or any other CF member. When a CF member asks for opinions, that is what he gets and many of them. This forum represents a vast amount of members ideas, member comments, and member opinions.
As an example, in Blue Demons comment of erroneous info, that is his opinion.

The OP bought the car so any opinions after the fact becomes a moot point. The OP is now the new owner and he has to live with any problems that might surface whether good or bad. Only time will tell if his price was a "good" buy or not. If the OP is happy with his purchase that is all that matters. It was his hard work or will be his hard work going forward that will help him make the payments on his new ride.

I sincerely hope he enjoys it. A few photos would be nice.

Wow, a little sensitive today maybe? Since you play on words, please refer to my "appears", no one accused you of anything. But, did you really believe a 2014 Z51 3LT had a MSRP OF $57K?

Blue Demon:

If the Vin Decoder information is only showing the MSRP without options, yes, I believe the information is correct.

I do not have any data to fall back on that can verify the MSRP of a 2014 Z51 without options. So one has to make the determination that the information of the MSRP on the 2014 Z5 is correct linked to the VIN # provided.

Once the OP gets his bona fide Monroney Window Sticker it will provide the MSRP of the 2014 Z51 with and without options priced.

Just had my infotainment screen replaced last week (VIN - 07237). It is an easy fix and a very common issue for earlier 2014 cars. Takes about an hour. Good luck and enjoy your car!!

Congratulations! You got a great vehicle at what appears to be a great price. Obviously, $57,000 was not the original MSRP.


Get the problems fixed and enjoy your new set of wheels.

FWIW my late build 2014 has been flawless. I wonder if they tweaked the software on the Infotainment system. Could there be a TSB on this issue?

I think it's an additional year of Bumper to Bumper when you buy GM CPO. Could be wrong; someone will correct me.
