Default Help locating previous owner

Hey guys, just got this 2016 Z06 3lz from Redline Performance Group in Georgia and they can't seem to be able to contact the previous owner. Does anyone recognize the car, and/or does anyone know if the previous owner is on here? I just need some info on the mods that Redline can't seem to provide. Overall decent experience with them, but it would've been nice to have a mod list with more details. Thanks in advance.

In Georgia, at least, dealers will generally not say who the previous owner was nor if you sell one to a dealer they won't tell the new buyer who the previous owner was. This is a general business practice to limit their liabilities and other legal complications. I would expect his is probably a nationwide thing.

I figured as much, but I was surprised they couldn't even forward MY info to him or something like that.

Didn't you get his old title or did the dealer take care of all that for you?

Does the car have the Nav/PDR system? If so see if the home address of the PO is stored in the Nav. When I purchased my C6Z the previous owner left his home address stored in the Nav and I was able to contact him.

I'd call it more suspicious than odd. If you look at their website the reviews are all over the place with many single star ratings and very dissatisfied customers and others that are five stars raving about how good they are. They also had a business name change to "lead our new vision". They are an auto broker not a speed shop. My guess is the reason they can't come up with the mod list is they either never had it or there's a history with the car that they don't want to reveal. Places like this usually pick up bargain Vettes at auctions. I can't imagine buying a car that's supposedly modded without any record or the details available. If the OP's car is without problems I would say he's a lucky guy given what you can see online about this used car dealer.

If the car came thru an auction your dealer does not care about previous owner.

Maybe the previous owner doesn't want to talk to you.
