What to check on a used 2022 Chevrolet Corvette
Electrical system (7 complaints on the 2022): test every light, window, lock, the infotainment screen and the charging system, and have the car scanned for stored fault codes.
Powertrain / transmission (5 complaints on the 2022): test-drive from cold through every gear and feel for slipping, harsh or delayed shifts and shudder; ask whether the transmission fluid has been serviced.
Structure (2 complaints on the 2022): look under the car for rust or damage around the subframe and rockers, open every door and the liftgate, and check panel gaps for signs of repair.
Service brakes (2 complaints on the 2022): check pedal feel, pulling and grinding, look at rotor and pad wear, and ask when the brake fluid was last changed.
Tires (1 complaint on the 2022): check tread depth and date codes, and look for uneven wear that points to alignment problems.
Recalls: confirm the campaign above was completed on this VIN.
