Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify rear brake recall completion and request related service records.
3. Confirm the rear seat belt locking recall was addressed.
4. Ask about electrical faults and powertrain or propulsion repairs.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
