Intro and quick question - need advice
Dear all,
Well the dream came true - brand new 2019 Stingray/Z51 with mag ride control. I live in Tucson, so hope the weather allows me to keep this baby a long time. As usual, the dealer pushed an extended warranty. 6 year. The power train warranty from GM is 5 years, so the question is if this is worth it. How reliable have people found the newer Corvettes, especially the non-power train issues like computers and mag ride control?
Anyway, I lurked for a bit and now I'm official.
