I'll disclose everything + pics once I pickup, I think it'll be ready tomorrow...
I went Monday to finalize it.

They had to order 2 new tires for the car and send it to a 3rd party shop to have the rims touched up.

Tires themselves were good, it was never tracked.

Honestly, looked like the previous owner 1v1'd a curb so the sidewall was questionable.

Not a bad price for a 2LT with MRC!
Hopefully I'll be right behind you if I can ever find one I like at the right price.
What color wheels?

I was going to go look at a 2014 3LT Z51 with like every option possible for $48k but I found out today that its got long tube headers and a tune to the powertrain warranty is void.
Id be adding long tubes one day anyways, but I need the peace of mind of a warranty for at least a couple years...

Im gonna try and stay patient and find a 2LT Z51 in the mid 40s. Plenty of nice ones out there, just never the right color! Theres a grey 3LT (I love the grey) but its got the brown interior which im not a fan of.

How do you like the dual mode exhaust?

Sound's great.
Out of Sport Mode it's very quiet but the valves will open up at higher RPM.

Finally test drove a C7 today. The dual mode exhaust is pretty neat. I didnt realize the one I was driving had it until the salesman put it in sport mode. A lot better!

Also, Im really conflicted now. The Long Beach Red is absolutely stunning, but only available in 2016 or newer (which means Id have to go with a base model instead of a lightly used 2LT Z51)

The 7 speed was pretty smooth though. I did stall once...
