Re: Cost of ownership?
All I can say is that my most recent 1995 ZR-1 has been a trouble free car only needing oil change and lube over the past 2 years and 4,000 miles (purchased with 28K miles). Having owned two early and one late model Z, I prefer the late model with all of the improvements that I have noticed and all the small details. All the costs to date has been mods and nothing to do with mechanical service or items that were needed. I will eventually get around to tuning it and servicing the cooling system and basic checks. This car has been a perfect car and I was fortunate to find one in this condition. This car has been through a few track days and ran very hard, as well as several long distance trips with no issues at all. In most cases you will get what you pay for. There are some deals out there, but ensure you buy one with documented service records. Stay away from cars that have changed hands too often and especially cars from auctions or dealers that have no history. Best wishes in your quest to own a legend and a great piece of automotive engineering and history.
