Default Well I feel a little better about my c7 purchase now

I got my window sticker finally. Not an official one since I didnt want to spend over $100 just yet but confirmed I do have the Z07 package which is exciting! Dealer wasn't sure when I bought it and I didnt pay for it in my purchase price so that's a plus. I asked here on the forums too and was told it may not be so good deal.

Makes me a feel a little better since I have to replace my GS wheels already..... brake squeal, non responsive touchscreen favorites menu, and competition seat center console rubbing I can deal with lol.

your lucky day if that is the case. Hard to believe the dealer did not know it had the Z07 package with the massive Carbon Ceramics Brakes staring right at them. Should do well when you sell!!

yeah manual and I also fell in love with it. I wasn't supposed to buy a vette lol. I was shopping other cars but this thing spoke to me. Mid range miles at 31k for a 2017 so it was driven which is why I liked it. I drive it everyday.

Dealers are clueless when it comes to this stuff.

Example: I bought a Volvo a few years ago that they advertised as having the more expensive "R Design Package" which included (among other things) blue face gauges (vs standard black) - so unless you were color blind it was obvious this vehicle didn't have that package. And changing the gauges isn't like swapping wheels or putting a spoiler on to fool someone. I showed them pictures in their own sales brochure highlight the differences but they didn't care one bit. I bought the car anyway because I got a good deal on it... but they had no idea what they were selling.

The carbon ceramic brakes are a dead giveaway that a car has the Z07 package. Also, you could lift up the rear carpet and look at the sticker to see what factory options your car has.

When I bought my C6 used, the dealer didn't know it was a Z51. On my car I looked in the glove box and there is a sticker with all the options on it. Not sure if a C7 has the sticker in the glove box but it doesn't hurt to look.
