So I sold my 215K miles C7 and I am quite familiar with the things to look out for in it. I will soon pickup a 2019 in great shape and well serviced with 80K. My initial take away, what happened to center storage, holy crap. Gone. And I will miss the MMI from C7. But longer term concerns is what I am seeking help on. Thanks in adance

you will also miss the engine and transmission from C7…

...yeah, the turbo lag in words is "not bad" but compared to the "read-ended" thrust I got right away from Supercharger, is night an day. I will miss that. But what about trans difference?

May be a transmission issue. Had a recall for TCM software on my 2023 C8. For me, it fixed the (double clutch?) hesitation that some may be attributing to turbo lag. I now check to see if I am in dynamic mode because of the change.

2019 had a few issues with the starter-alternator. Make sure that has been replaced, I am not sure if premium plus has matrix headlights. If it does, there is an awesome upgrade hack that you can discover by checking the threads.

Cheers!

the big one in 2019 would be rocker arms. They were upgraded mid 2019. I would double check that this car has upgraded rocker arms or get them upgraded.

Do not get early C8, get 2021+ one.
They fixed their production line quite a lot early years. If you do wish, then make sure you check history of the car and make sure it has done a lot of warranty work, otherwise u will be scratching ur head and dreaming of issues. (I know from experience, even with warranty i was pissed)
