19.100 for a 10,000 mile ZR1 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Vette73 · 03-23-2015

Was following the bidding on this one 91 ZR1 on ebay...

Red/Red 10,500 miles,all stock,with factory saw blades,both tops......Car looked flawless...Some routine parts changed over the years.....Looks like somebody got a great deal....

Since i purchased mine in November, I have been following buying and selling trends...So far from what i have seen this looks like the best value for the amount of miles the car had......Car looked great in photos and was located in Miami....

Anybody on the registry buy this car?

Good deal for sure.

I guess mine will never appreciate so I can retire. Oh well, might as well drive it and enjoy it

I briefly attempted to gauge interest in my 91 and got a few emails and calls, but the difference between the ZR-1 and my old 95 LT1 coupe was that people actually came out to drive the 95. Just like Walmart...it is all about the price for 98 percent of the buying public.

My guess is that for more than $15k there are a lot of other sports car choices. Curious though that non ZR 6-speed C4's are going up in value, but largely they are still all under $10k.

I think at times what is hurting the ZR1 is that to most people it just resembles a regular C-4....I remember back when there was a great amount of talk about this car....When it finally appeared im like," it looks like a regular Corvette"..I feel chevy made a big deal about all the hype on this car that most people expected a different style.....

I chose to buy a ZR1 because I am a corvette guy....I know the difference when I see one and also have the 73 so I feel I am getting the best of both worlds...

I don't feel the ZR1 will drop anymore in price but I do see a lot of swings in prices as to what people are asking for them...

What's hurting the value the most is all the criticism people keep throwing at it in regards to how difficult it is to work on, no parts for repaired ETC.

Just $12k might get you into this Red/Black '90 with 58K mileage, A-mold wheels, pictures look spiffy.
VIN# 1094

I'm making the trip this weekend to pick mine up at SGC, very excited about the Z I'm getting, otherwise I would've called this one if I was still shopping.

Poor fitment around the front bumper...Seller says good condition....Maybe it's had some body work which is maybe to be expected for a 26 year old car...If maintenance was routinely done it could be a good buy since the owner put a very reasonable price or OBO....

Tuned port injection on the side??

Yes, learn something new everyday. Went to check out a 90 Z for sale at a Chevy dealership in MD for a friend and noticed the TPC on the side.
