All the best.

Low mileage means more money. If you are going to daily drive it, is there a difference between 5000 miles and 30000? In price, yes. Is it worth it? Probably not for DD. I'm not sure how many keep records. Besides, when you buy at a dealership, I heard that they wipe all identifiable paperwork. I would just get a professional to do a through PDI

Unwritten rule here - if you buy, post pics!!

Well like the title says I went and bought a c7 Stingray. I took your advice along with everyone else’s advice and got a 2019. Great car. Everyone was right about it being just an allround better car. Sorry about the pictures as I am not a photographer.

I plan on learning a lot about the car from the forum as I did in the c5 forums. Thanks!! Additional info—-17440 miles.

I didn't see much going north of a 16 so that was what I stuck with for year and 2LT with the features checked was what I needed. Front cameras, Android Auto, memory seats, etc.

My 2015 2lt has memory seats.

Congratulations! I too went from a C5 to the C7GS. Great car, you will have no regrets.
Differential oil change is a good idea to do.

As my username implies, I too went from a C5 to a C7. 2002 Z51 M6 vert to 2015 Z51 7M Coupe. The C7 is definitely a much improved and impressive car, but now the OP is already aware of that. Better ride, noise abatement, comfort, all around performance. I find it easier to get in and out of the C7, maybe because the doors are shorter? Not sure. Any hoot, enjoy your new ride!
