1990 low vin number value 800105

[efnfast]

With limited information, I would think 40 for the new one, 20 at best for the driver. Guys?

Agreed.

And 40 is not the "sell it immediately price," that is "find the right buyer looking for an "as new" ZR-1," price.

OP: You have to remember, while that is lower mileage than most, there are a lot of these cars with less than 5k miles out there.

I think that 40k is also the "sorted out" price in my opinion. That means new injectors, probably fuel pumps, cleaned and detailed with all original literature, tools, etc.

I would say the sell it immediately price is probably 35k.

Based on my experience, the 600-mile example is likely a sub-30K car. A sub-1000 mile ZR-1 is not a rarity.

True, although for the right buyer it might be worth a little more. Mecum sold a similar low mileage '90 last year for about $30k as I recall. OP could probably search some of the auction results to see what similar cars have sold for. When I bought my '95 in 2012 I paid up (in the high $20s) for the car because it was exactly what I was looking for, right colors, low mileage and only two owners. Sold it high too (high $30s) in 2016, but only after I had invested enough to lose $20k on my ownership. But I did love it while I had it and wish I still had garage room to buy it back.--Bob

Good morning to you all. And thank you for all of your replies so far.
I will get more information and some pictures for you guys. I believe also the driver should be in the value of low 20s. It is extremely nice condition. The red on red looks great and with the tinted targa roof.

As for the “new” car. It’s hard to hear it’s forcasted value as it’s so great to have a car in its condition. It’s been under a cover in a warm southern Cali garage for many years. It also was auctioned off and purchased by the current owner from a long time ago celebrity from tv’ s the rifle man
Don’t believe that ads any value, but possibly coolness?

I guess I cannot open pictures here yet?

What hurts the low mileage cars in the ZR-1 market is that percentage wise, there are more low mileage cars than not. So yours is in the majority overall. Yours is also the most common color and year. You'd do much better if you had a quasar blue 1993 or a 94/95 admiral blue car.

Just a ballpark, but I would guess that 10% of the ZR-1s still out there (600-650) have less than 1000 miles on them, and their value is going nowhere, so there is no advantage in the here and now to owning a low mileage car. On top of that, there is maintenance that was almost certainly never done. Buying one with mileage that low, a person is hoping to see a jump in value. There is no reason to buy that low a mileage car as a driver.

In today's market, I'd rather buy a well kept 20-30k mile car with known maintenance and not feel bad about driving it every day. Maybe it jumps in value soon, if not I'd still be happy.

I think I remember when you sold your green one....Great looking Z with the 510 package... With the prices the way they are now, high 30's selling price seems like you got good money for it....

Basically you got more for it when you sold it as opposed to your buying price...All though I know you modded the car and that costs money...Especially on the ZR-1

Your probably best off starting a new thread and including as many photos as possible. For a 91’ you may also want to include whether the injectors and fuel pumps have been changed yet. Price wise your in the ball park.

As noted in my post, it was not a good financial investment. But I enjoyed the heck out of it and frankly, it is not the only car that I have owned and loved that didn't increase my retirement account. It was a great condition, powerful and well sorted car so the buyer did well, although as I understand it he has not driven it nor has it been seen anywhere since the sale. His loss. --Bob
