take it to a chevy dealer that has a top notch tech that specializes in corvettes and spend a couple of hundred bucks to have the car checked out. Search a8 problems in the forum. It should be mostly ok. But the car is probably out of bumper to bumper warranty.

I personally think the A8 concerns are blown out of proportion. I have a 2016 Z with 10,500 miles. I had some shudder issues with it and it was addressed by my local Chevy dealer. The service department was well versed in the issue. It’s not a Z06 issue, it involves most of the A8’s (trucks, cars, etc.). My sevicing dealer informed me of the upcoming “GM fix” which appears to be another flush. My car is fine and I will take it in later in the spring do get the latest TSB done. If you don’t plan to track the car, I see nothing wrong with the A8. I would order the automatic again. I do drive mine aggressively when the opportunity arises and the trans shifts quick and solid. I had a 09 Z that only came with the manual. I had it for eight yeas and chose the Automatic for my new Z. No regrets! To each his own. If the price is right, I would give a great deal of consideration.

Love my A8 and no issues. I agree with above....always hear about the bad.
