70k for the 2020 is a bit on the high side, I would pass.

Until there's manual transmission offering for the C8 platform I will forever place my interests in keeping a manual C7 over an automatic C8. I love being able to drive this car, feel like i'm in control of it and I feel I would quickly become bored in an automatic. Solely my opinion and for this, I wouldn't suggest getting rid of your c7 for a c8. Also, as others have said, for a car that's been hooned by everyone test driving it, the ease of transporting cars across the country from other dealers, I think their price is high.

Agree
OP, I agree that
No doubt driven hard and put away wet
could make anyone worry. OTOH, in addition to points given by Avanti, this could be a "testament" to this car's robustness since it "survived" not getting BABIED<<< a good thing.
IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT (for car and your trade-in) and if this C8 is spec'd to how you want it PLUS warranty, then GIT R DONE.
