Soon For Sale (Need Price Help) - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

DMark · 06-01-2010

Time has come to move on to something else. Looking for opinions from the Brotherhood.

What should I expect to sell my car for?

Not asking what we think our ZR-1s are really worth..., but understanding today's market what should I set my price at in order to make a reasonable sale?

This is Ed's (FastZR1) former car that I bought from him off of this site five years ago. Runs Great. Looks Great. It is the most noteworthy Corvette that I have ever owned. Not looking to re-coup an "investment" just want to sell the car at a price that is fair to all.

So, the details.....

1991 Corvette ZR-1 # 1643.

Polish & Ported Plenum, Injector Housing, Air Horn & Throttle Body - Stainless Works headers coated by Swain Tech - Flowmaster Cat-Back - MagaFlow Hi-Flo CATs and exhaust tips - Open air lid - New Injectors - New Coils - New Sparkplug & Wires - Complete New Vacuum Hose Kit - Radiator Removed & Cleaned - Oil Cooler Removed & Cleaned - New Oil Level Sensor - New Belt - New Samco Hoses - New Thermostat - New Alternator - New Starter - New PVC - Engine Powder Coated - Tune by Marc Haibeck - This LT5 now has a honest 430-435HP at the crank.

Drivetrain. Transmission rebuilt by ZF Doc - New Clutch & Master Cylinder - Hurst shifter - ZF Doc Drive line beam plates - New inside and outside Brute Force U-joints - New Front Hubs - New Rear Hubs.

Hate to say this, but I would guess 19.5-22K

ZZZZZR1 · 06-01-2010

WOW that car is beatiful and well come!!!

I agree with Lee, but maybe $24k to the right buyer.

Good luck with the sale!

Prices are hard to swallow; keep it if you can. I think the market is just about bottomed out on our cars. A little bump in the economy and the *&^%$#$%^ stock market might give you some help in a year or two. Car presents very well.

GC,

Yup, I agree. That is the spread that I'm thinking.

18.5k = Value to Buyer.
22k = Worth to Seller.

Thanks,

I didn't even know it was lowered until Ed sent me some pics after I got the car. Thanks for mentioning the stance. Of course, it being on the Dragon will make for some good laternal Gs. I expect its lower about an inch all the way around.

Ed installing the front lowering blocks.

I can't remember how much it lowers the front end but it does a bit, that hugh rubber piece you see on the spring infront of Ed's face is Cut off and you glue a small 1/8 of an ich or so block to take its place and thats what lowers the front end it is a pain in the *** job to do as far as what you get from all that labor.
