2019 C7 340 miles
I am looking at a 2019 C7 Z51 3LT with 340.... yes 340 miles! Any opinions on a 2019 with this low mileage? Anything specific to look out for, or concerns? It is a CPO.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, I thought my 3800 mile find was low. It's basically a new car so do all the stuff you would normally do with a new one. Then for the love of God drive the thing. Hopefully the tires aren't flat spotted.

Only thing I can think of are the transmission flush (if an automatic) and the 3LT dash coming apart. You should be able to get some kind of warranty to cover those issues. I've had no issues with with my '19.

Yeah, just do the normal break in stuff. As a CPO, you have a warranty on the car.

With low miles I'd be concerned about oil seals drying out and leaking. And bad fuel gumming things up.

wow 340 miles, geez yeah must of been sitting, poor thing! needs to be driven!
anyway like mentioned certainly ask for maintenance records?
things I would look into:
oil changes? should have had at least 2 at min being a 2019, would hope 3.
battery condition, was it tendered, etc..

2024 C7 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Mid-Feb 2019 built cars forward had the new fluid so depends on build date. Regardless put a Range device in if A8 to stay in V8 100% of time, our March built 2019 has had one since week one, no issues as of yet with 11k.

There's No real concerns associated with a C7 with that age/mileage, at least no more than purchasing any used car. Not like the C7s an old barn find.
Being a 3LT I would recommend checking the dash around the vents for shrinkage/delamination. You can search for the hundreds of threads/posts here on the subject.

Check the wipers and tires. Those deteriorate regardless of mileage, particularly if the car was kept outdoors. Also check the battery. If it wasn't kept on a trickle charger when it wasn't being used, it could be due for replacement. One other thought. The gas may be old and if the tank sat unfilled for long periods of time, it could contain moisture from condensation. With that low mileage, it's probably running on either the initial fill, or the first fillup after.

As someone previously mentioned, drive it more while in CPO warranty and get everything that does not meet your expectations repaired/restored during this time. Drive and enjoy it!
