Overall the car looks pretty clean. Interior presents well, options are solid, and it seems like a nice spec. The only real cosmetic issue I’m seeing is some wheel rash, which appears repairable. At first glance it feels like a pretty strong value for a well-optioned 2016 with MagRide and NPP.
Nice looking ride.If it checks all your boxes the minor wheel issue wouldn't be a concern for me.Easily repaired or worst case just replace it.Good luck!!
Nice looking car. I have a second owner 2016 RPO Z51 and am happy with it. The only thing I had to do, other than change all fluids and tires, was add Android Auto to the HMI module as it was made in January 2016 which apparently was too early for it.
If you go forward, please remember fluids will need change out-refresh
also, note color of Brake fluid
I noticed that brake fluid color and the cheap metal frame wipers. First thing to go before I got home was to throw the wipers for Bosch Envisions. I guess my case was different. I bought the car in the rain and drove home in the rain so stopped by an Autozone and tossed the metal frame crap.
I wanted to make sure that you knew there was a major difference between a RPO Z51 and a Stingray that has an RPO Z51 Appearance Package.
A Z51 Appearance Package has the appearance of a Z51. It does not have the instant go and the instant stop. That would make it cheaper because it does not have all the goodies.
Otherwise, it looks and appears to be a nice Vette at a decent price.

Good info. I didn’t know that. Learn something here every day
Assuming it checks out to e in good shape with no accidents the price seems on the low end, especially with mag ride. The first thing I do with any used vehicle is change every fluid on it so I know when everything was changed and what was used. I also plan on changing out the tires. And for a Vette, I also plan on having it professionally paint corrected and high quality ceramic coating.
In the garage yet?
\This is from a GMC dealer that sells lots of Corvettes/Chevelles/Camaros. Clean CarFax 2-owner with consistent dealer service records, they just did an oil change and safety inspection (which for Maryland is very through).
The tires are less than 2 years old, Michelin A/S with less than 3,000miles on them.

Seems like I got a real winner here!!
You are getting a great deal! One of the best I have ever seen!
Make sure you keep the key fobs in a Faraday signal blocking pouch when you go out in public and while in your home, if you do not already do that.
