Default Looking at a 94 today to buy

Going to look at a 94 ZR1 today with 79,000 miles. Looks nice, everything works. Hes asking $8,000, I'm curious if that seems reasonable. Also is there anything I should be concerned about? I hear engine parts are hard to come by? Thanks.

8 Grand is way cheap, like 10,000 too cheap. Look it over carefully.
The engines are very unique, but I don't believe anybody on this site has a car that is sitting for a lack of parts.

8 grand ? I remember a few weeks ago on the corvette forum some one was looking at a Z that was 2 grand ?

To me both those prices especially of course 2 grand,are ridiculous..

I follow BAT often and I'm noticing Z's bringing in pretty good money...

2 grand and even 8 grand for a 94 are priced way way low...

At $8k it's probably a LT1 with ZR1 badges.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but i'd bet donuts to dollars that it's not a real Z.

Where are you located in Michigan and where is the car? $8,000.00 is very inexpensive for a '94 ZR-1. Make sure it is a real ZR-1 and check the condition carefully. I'm in the Lansing area, if you need a second set of eyes.

VIN should read 1G1YZ, eighth digit should be J, and the last seven should be 580XXXX.

Was it involved in a fire which was then put out by the flood or struck by a shooting star?

A 79k ZR-1 should command far more than $8,000.00.
Could be a Vega with a ZR-1 emblem.

If it sounds too good to be true, either:

1- don't waste your time

2- RUN!

Best of luck in your search!!!

I am also in the Michigan area (Bloomfield) if you need a hand looking at the car if it is local (Detroit Metro Area).

$8,000 to me suggests a car that is significantly damaged. Even LT-1 C4s are more expensive in the marketplace than $8K.

Also, "WHO' is telling you that engine parts are difficult to acquire? Do they have a ZR-1? Are they familiar with the durability of these engines?

Two days and no update or response. Did anyone receive a private message for assistance or a reply?

pics or ban!!!

$8K would be a ridiculous deal, especially for a 94/95.
