That road it's parked on would be amazing in that car. Lots of tight corners that had the C5 tires skipping across the pavement.

Hmm... While I do love the color combo a 2014 is probably to be avoided. GM had a lot of teething issues for the first couple of years with the C7. Also :impressive: asking price for a near 10 model year old car.

I wish that green wasn't 2014 only. Especially with the kalahari interior, it's a killer looking C7. But like Max said, 2014/5 should generally be avoided since there were a number of gremlins that got ironed out by 2016.

That's a bummer. I'm always leery of first model year cars (although I stupidly bought a '22 GR86 anyway...d'oh), but I haven't ever looked into these. What's so bad about those first two years?

Sounds like my friend's :waxer: dad is going to buy that C7. I sent it to him, he sent it to his dad, now I guess it's on hold and they're driving up to Chicago to go see it in person on Saturday.

I told him my finder's fee was a test drive. :lol:

Electrical gremlins and control modules. My friend was a GM tech up until this year, and I remember a 2015 had 32hr of diag time from him because of some data recorder or drive mode error that ended up being related to the headlight module not communicating correctly.

:dat:

Internally, the C7 was the first vehicle to move to a new electrical architecture, that eventually underpinned all vehicles built from 2015 to nowish. There were quite a few growing pains and lessons learned on the 14-15 C7 that makes them something that could be a disaster to own unless you were a tech.

I must have a set eventually. The only hard part is anthracite, or brushed clear?

If you're talkin' on the 86, I would say brushed clear would look better with the darker blue you have. I would say anthracite on Neptune.

Silver wheels never go out of style :doe: can't go :wrong: with brushed clear.
