Best months to sell?
 

I would like to sell my 11k mile '94 ZR-1 in the near future. What are the best and worst times of the year to sell a car like this? Is it best to wait until spring?

Re: Best months to sell?
 

when would you rather buy a car like the one you're trying to sell

Best month would be the one where you get the most bucks.
Yes, I was born a smart a$$.

Spring time

bought mine in January, but would have done it earlier if xmas activities etc didn't interrupt. Of course living in San Diego means no off season.

I heard on news radio that people will buy things depending on the weather and season. For instance convertibles sell more in the spring and hardly at all in the winter. 4x4's in the winter, less in the summer. Black cars less in the summer more in colder months. Houses w/ pools sell more in the summer than winter etc. etc.. I would put it now, just to see if I got any bites. Then take it off the market end of Oct. and try again in Mar..

If you are serious about getting rid of it now is the time. Come next spring the C7 will be available, C6 ZO6 are going to be selling for less than 30k, which is going to make our cars drop to below 20K.

You will not see the ZR-1 prices drop any further, they have hit bottom and are now moving upward. The 20 year mark has come for all the 375 horse cars and will soon be here for all the 405 cars. The 405 cars will appreciate faster than the 375 cars. 405 cars had fewer produced and were a 4 bolt. They have been placed on a lot of most future collectable list. I would hang on to your car if possible. Prices only drop when you take less than the car is worth.

Okay, I know this seems to be a stupid question, but with a ZR-1 is this really a mass appeal car? Ya know I think of our cars not so much as "a mid life crisis purchase" like just any old sports car, but rather as a specific buying choice.

Okay, if our cars don't qualify as a specific choice then I would say start advertizing now, and hope to sell by May or April??? GLWS!

All Corvettes are not mass appeal cars. But the Corvette world is a huge base. Depends where you live as to when is the best time to sell. But if I were you I would stick firm to your price. These cars will go up just because they made so few.
