Thats the one. Marked sold because i paid the Transfer fee to ship it to Indy.. Big thanks to Mike aka whalepirot for stepping up and inspecting it, not to mention him also taking time to drive it and taking personal pics. Once carmax gets money or request for a transfer they pull it off the site as No Longer Available.. And since I live in indy and never saw the car, I was seeing if anyone could be my eyes and check it out before it got shipped. Any thing found out of ordinary, I would of cancelled the shipment before they sent it. After they ship it, its too late. I would be on the hook for the shipping fees.. Thanks again everyone. Will let you know how things work out.

Yes. I did. Going from a longtime c4-c5 owner to a c7. Never cared much for the c6 so I jumped that era. Its a 14' z51 with mag ride. 3lt. 13k miles. I wanted pdr but not offered on 14'. Carmax didnt even know it had mag ride. I pulled a build sheet and saw it did. I believe its loaded for that year except for competition seats. Correct me if im wrong.

Hey Mike.
I gave it up. Was taking too long to ship.
talked to dealer who use to work for car max and he said it would probably sit there for a month befote they would ship it. I kind of wish I stayed with it. Cant find one like it.
