Nice find. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. The C7 is an amazing car!
Not sure how much research you did before purchasing it, but a few things to be aware of………..
Is it an automatic or 7 speed manual? If the A8 automatic, be sure it’s had the triple flush to rid it of the old formula transmission fluid and replaced with the newer improved version. Also highly recommend you plug a Range Device into the OBD port to deactivate the AFM system. Keeps the car operating on 8 cylinders full time.

Think about exchanging all the fluids and have the lubricant level checked in the Differential.
