Car check - Hopefully last one - any red flags
Hey Guys,
I found a car I am interested in Houston, TX. It has the Kalahari like I want. I am hoping it comes down between this car and the one I posted about earlier. Just want to see if anyone sees any red flags.

Carfax is on the site above. See the buildsheet and VIS report attached.
Thank you very much.
PS. If you live near by and want to check it out, please PM me. Its located at Houston Auto North.

$42k-$46k for this car in my area, according to KBB. Price seems like there's some room to negotiate. For me personally, that Kalahari interior with yellow interior is really jarring...not a good combo. But it's not about what I like...it's your money. How do you feel about yellow? It's a polarizing color.

Don't even waste your time with peoples comments about the colors. The colors are yours to chose and yours only. It's a Z51 with 2LT trim decent miles in good condition with a good Carfax. I can't see anything wrong with it. Make an offer. As was mentioned you probably have some room to negotiate. All they can say is no.

Just be very sure it's not a flood car!

Please do. I would greatly appreciate it. Do you know anything about the dealer?

Your "spotters" should try to ascertain whether the 2014 z51 has the original co-cast brake rotors or have been upgraded to the newer two-piece rotors. Shouldn't be hard to see, old is dull, new is shiny. GM did this because, well, nobody likes a pedal that drops to the floor after repeated hard braking.

So I went over there this morning and unfortunately the car is off to their private service department for inspections and clean up. So its not there onsite. I was told it would be back on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. In the meantime here's a pic of the popcorn machine that I kept helping myself to …

These guys have way to many nice vehicles over there to be pedaling a bs flood car.
There's a Maserati in the showroom.
If there's a problem with this outfit, its that pretty much everything is somewhat over priced, which is normal for Houston.

If you like it, it's worth maybe 42k. For me, no warranty, 15 16 17's are close in price. 2016 is the sweet spot right now. I would pass. Like the man above said, yellow/tan doesn't help it. Doesn't matter if your buying or selling, it's a fact.
Don't fall in love, zillions of these for sale.
