Found a Z06 3lz for sale relatively near me. 1200 miles, so slightly used. MSRP was 178k (over 45k in options on this car). Dealer is offering it to me for $160k, and 70k for my 2023 C8 Z51 in trade.
Kicker - Chevy/GM bought this particiular Z06 back from the original owner due to a transmission problem, which the dealer says has been fixed.
Would you pull the trigger?

Was it bought back simply because it exceeded 30 days to get a replacement transmission?
Or was it in for multiple issues with the transmission and they hope a replacement fixes the issue?
If it exceeded 30 days as the reason why the original owner decided to lemon law it, I would feel comfortable. New transmission, good to go.
Would be hesitant if it was just throwing parts at it type of deal in trying to figure out the root cause.
Need to look into the service history of the vehicle.

I agree with the comments above. In addition, I don't believe he's doing you any favors on your trade in. Auto Nation just bought my 2020 HTC with 12,000 miles outright last week for $75,000.

Well I just bought a brand new one with transmission issues and check engine lights blazing so as long as the warranty is still good I would tell the dealer to include a top tier GM warranty into the deal.

Interesting. If that was a 2023 with no issues. I think that price would be right on the money and you should hop on it. Since it has had issues, and if its a 2023....it should be lower priced IMO. Aso I would get more for your car and get some CPO extended warranty.
Good luck

I looked recently when I bought a Bolt EUV, and Ally has a 1.6 out of 5 rating with the BBB for handling claims and customer service. That was the Extended Warranty the dealer was pushing pretty hard for me to purchase. At the time, I assumed it was a GM extended warranty, so I did a little research and found that it's a 3rd party that you deal with, not the dealer performing the service. I'm glad I passed on that deal.
