I bought a 2014 July 2019 with 39k now on it. 3LT automatic. The only issue was the info screen, luckily I had bought a warranty as fearful of all the electronics. Trans is fine as is everything else. You've been here since Dec 19 so you must have been paying attention. Good luck, winter up north best time to buy

3LT dash bubbling up, infotainment screen flickers, fan control module, Z51 brake rotor warpping - these are the ones that tend to come up the most. Overall no major problems especially with A6 tranny, the later A8 is the one that has issues. My '14 with 34K is only suffering from cosmetic stuff and a few tiny electronic things I fixed in my driveway. Just know that C7 prices have trended up all year due the lack of C8s, it will be interesting to see if this continues into the normally slow-selling winter months.

The 2014s defied the rule that the first model year is problematic. The 2014 C7s are very good quality wise. They're no worse than any other year C7. Some would argue 2014 is among the best. The A6 in the 2014 is solid as it's the same transmission that was used for years in the C6 so GM knew how to make it right.

Other than infotainment screen and cooling fan problems, it has been pretty trouble free.
