Considering a 13 ZL1
Hello
I am considering moving from my 45th to a 13 ZL1, I like to drive my cars hard on the backroads in WI, I guess what I am wondering have there been any problems with the early ZL1s, anything I should ask the dealer or look into in the service history? Thank you in advance for anything anyone provides!!! Lou |

Check shocks and struts for leaks, front and rear.

Chevy did replace my rear shocks when the car was under warranty.

Mine had a blown rear replaced under warranty as well with the original owner.

Well I did the deal Saturday, I negotiated a 24 month bumper to bumper warranty, I had the dealer check and the isolator has not been replaced. I was wondering if I should wait a while, and complain of the “rattle” to then have it fixed? Sorry, no pictures yet.....really crappy weather in WI! It is black, black top and black wheels with exposed carbon fiber.....

Don't read too much into the panic found on the forums. These cars are pretty much bullet proof.

In other words, would that 6 year warranty cover the car for the NEXT 6 years or for only less than one year since the car is a 2013? |
