I can't imagine the maintenance needed on that item.

Noted, thanks.

I know GM revised the OLM to shorten OCI's, but I think these engines are going to have more and more problems as time goes on.
That's a bit concerning. I saw a few things of concern on
Car Complaints , but besides the 2017, the 2015 has the fewest complaints hence the reason I chose that years' model. Also will ask them if the 2 or 3 recalls on that model year has been addressed.

Good luck.
Exactly! If it's not meant to be, well, I'll save myself $13k. That's the really nice thing about not NEEDING to purchase a vehicle right away.

I think 13k (or a little below) would be a good way to go.
I'd give it a shot!
Awesome! Notes taken! thanks.
Thank you everyone for your input. Think I will lower my "haggle range" down to $12.5k with max of $12.8k out the door with increments of $100? or should I use increments of $50? I don't exactly know how to "haggle."
