I still think $58k is a lot for a car that’s been part of a rental fleet. I would bite probably in the mid thirties.
Yes, there is a lot of risk with buying a rental car. I use to abuse the hell out of them. But especially if it’s a CA car, there’s not many places you can use 600hp “hard”, except a race track. However hard one might hammer the car on a street, it’s really not that fun, because you can’t stay sustained with a heavy foot very long anywhere unless you really want to end up in jail. So unless the car saw serious track time, it’s probably ok.
The problem with the C7 Z06, is they’ve been known to have a lot of cooling issues with the supercharger in there. That would be concerning…
Any high performance car or car(s) used for competition, budget sufficiently for maintenance and repairs. I just had an engine and transmission go out with less than 30k miles. Generally speaking, NA engines are pretty bulletproof. Anytime FI is involved, whether a turbo or a supercharger, all bets are off. People usually don’t take care of the turbos and in the case of the SC, they require maintenance too around 50k Of course, all my cars now have FI, whether it came that way from the factory or not, lol. But I’m expecting to pay for the service..
… Or you can wait for a heavily discounted ZR1, which is even more insane. 700+hp….lol
