2018 Base Stingray Automatic
I’m considering purchasing a base stingray 2018 automatic with 11K miles.
By the looks of the CARFAX the car has the required oils changes etc.
However what I can tell it hasn’t had the Trans, Brake, Coolant and differential fluids changes which should have been done by 5 years.
I called my chev dealer and asked a cost estimate. They said they’d call me back but haven’t.
Does anyone have an estimate of what that could cost?
Any other advice on anything I should be mindful of?
thanks

If not, that will add a good amount to the total cost.

Without knowing how much each quart of fluid is going to cost you at the parts counter, it is hard to give an estimate. IIRC, it is about $14 and you need 24 quarts. Without knowing how much your labor runs, a guess is $200 per multiplied by 2.8 hours. Maybe $100 more for the filter? Perhaps you can ask the labor rate from the appointment clerk and the fluid and filter cost from the parts department and get an idea how much the transmission 3 pan drop will cost? Maybe $1000 if you want to do it right or a few hundred if you like to be screwed into thinking you got the triple flush as outlined by the TSB?
