r/C7corvette

For those of you that have a Pedal Commander on your C7, where did you mount the control box?

I’m thinking about buying a 2017 C7 Corvette, manual, 1LT, with 63,000 miles for $38,000. Do you think that’s a good deal?
I’ve read that the biggest long-term concern can be the transmission. I’d like some advice on what I should inspect before buying it and what I should test during the test drive to make sure everything is in good condition.
I’d also like to know what kinds of issues you’ve experienced around this mileage and, on average, how much routine maintenance typically costs.

I've got a distinct metallic rattle that comes from the drivers side engine bay (or at least sounds like that while driving) when the engine switches from v4 to v8 under slight acceleration. I've replaced the tensioner pulley as it was leaking. But the noise persists. It doesn't sound like lifter failure during regular idle. It's quiet as a mouse when in v4 mode. But the moment it switches over to V8 there is a very distinct metallic rattle that is constant during the acceleration. The odd thing is, it's loud at first but does quiet down a bit after the switch in engine modes but is still noticeable. Yes, after this is repaired I will be installing the Range AFM delete module. But for now i'd like to figure it out. The other options i've understood is Torque Tube front bearings (I really hope this isn't the issue), A heat shield rattling loose, AFT Exhaust valve, or worst case lifter issues.

Any help from this community would be greatly appreciated.

Im hearing a scraping/rattling noise which happens immediately when I put the car into drive and reverse and goes away after a couple seconds, it re appears at 1200 rpm’s if I’m lightly pressing the gas and goes away after 1300 rpms and doesn’t come back until I’m coming to a stop again or right when I first try to accelerate after the stop. But if the car is in neutral or park it goes away again. I started hearing it about a week ago but it has gotten noticeably worse recently at first I thought it was an exhaust rattle but after looking into it more the sound seems to be coming from under the seats or the engine bay. Other than that it shifts fine and no noticeable loss of power.
