Go check to make sure the check engine light still illuminates (when you start the car). My neighbor, who sold me my car, told me never to trust anything you hear at a dealership.

Also, go look at the MPG screen. That may give an indication if it was tracked, or, "grandpa-ed".

Trust me, before your 7 days, go to the dealer & get the rear diff fluid checked & have them pull the GDSII.
Not even 10 mins for both!
Congrats on the new ride!
I got one free oil change remaining, and I am taking it in to Chevy regardless if CarMax changed the oil. Who knows what they put in there. While there I will have them do the diff oil and an alignment.

Acetone on a micro will remove all residue and not harm anything there.

Congrats on the purchase. I have a similar Z06. Albeit I set out to get a 1LZ and ended up in a 3LZ for not even 7500 more with a design package (had the blade spoke wheels which were another 3500 option at time).

Great thing about Z06 is even 1LZ has HUD.

Enjoy it.
Yes, from a guy who just traded in a 1LT with no options, I'm loving the HUD, and nav is not too bad either.







The interior was mint. It smells brand new.

You cannot just change these back and forth. The taller spoiler puts lot of down force on the rear. The Z07 option has stiffer springs. If you don't have those springs and you put the bigger spoiler on you could have high speed handling issues. Be careful.

his car came with the z07 springs, he will be fine to re add it should he choose to.
