Another pre purchase question
Ok I found another z06 I am thinking about buying. Its a 16 2lz it drives great and when I got back to the dealer looked under the hood and found it has a AFE cold air intake. Will this void the engine warranty? Does anyone have a stock air box they would like to sell? Also do I need to make them check the PCM to see if it has been tuned?
Thanks in advance Tim

Ask the dealer also if the car has the factory tune.
Also get something in writing stating the mods to the car that they are selling it with, and that it is sold with the full factory warranty. This won't guarantee anything (the final decision will still be up to GM), but it might help if there's ever an issue.

If you are concerned about a warranty then I would have Chevy pull the ECM data to confirm it's still stock. Few threads around where buyers unknowingly bought used tuned cars and suffered powertrain blocks when looking for warranty service. If you continue just ask the dealer to put a new stock airbox on...it's all negotiable.

I have a stock air box that I am about to post up for sale. I would definitely have them run the car through service and check to make sure it was not tuned. I'd almost be willing to bet you can find a new Z06 for the price you are paying for the used one. Definitely check that option out as well.
PS. dont meant to thread jack =]

I'd sure want a note on the "we owe" sheet or similar that the car, equipped as sold to you, does not have any warranty blocks or modifications that inhibit warranty, something to that effect. Be worth them hooking it up to their Tech2/GDS to make sure the tune is stock as well.
Rest assured it doesn't matter what anyone TELLS you.
