Good afternoon,
Im new here and have some questions about purchasing a Zr1, Im looking to buy a 94 ZR1 with 29k miles the car is stock except for a Ripple chip. The guy is asking 33k is this a good price? High or low?
It there anything I should look for when inspecting the car other than the obvious. Was there any major issues with this year Zr? I gave up my 86 Grand national to get a Zr1.

Thanks
Ray

Hello Ray, and welcome to the forum.

It would seem based on your forum ID that you have your heart set on this 94 you are looking at.

As with any vehicle, it depends largely on it's condition and maintenance as to what it is worth.

As far as things to look for when inspecting it, to get started read this article;

Also, may I suggest you go into your User CP and list your location so everyone knows at least what state you are in.

Im looking for a low mile unmolested well taken care of ZR1 91-05.
I looking for a car no higher than 35k. I would prefer black.
I will pay cash for the right car. Looking to buy within the next two months.
The best car I have located is this 94. I look at the cars for sale on this site daily. If you have a car like this and looking to sell please let me know.

Thanks for the welcome, I miss my Gn however I know the Zr1 will be worth it.
I always wanted one, I remember in 1990 I was a tech for Chevy and the first Zr1 hit the showroom. I wanted one however the 65k price tag was out of my league. I purchased a Gn in 90 and drove it till last month and parted with it. It only had 47k orig miles on it. Mint car.
I cant wait to get the ZR however Im very fussy overall.

Take it easy.

Same for a lot of us Ray we drooled till they came down out of the stratosphere...for me it was 10-10-03 when of all things my nearby neighbor who has bought/sold a ton on gen 1 and 2 vettes came drivin in a local car hop on a sat nite at the local a&w in fox lake in my dream a black on black zr-1. lucky 4 me he was my dad's barber as well as my neighbor. my dad had just passed the year b4 from prostate cancer and for all those reasons and a little luck he sold it to me for his cost(a gud deal 4 sure). now i have two vettes the 84 (i scored it in 02) and the zr-1. my mech and best friend liked it so much(he is a big mopar nut) he went out a got a 98 vert...here is a link to the trib.zr-1 site and on p2 is my buddies vert and his other toys....trust me once u get behind the wheel of the zr and wot her thru the gears ull never regret the $$$. 7200 rpm's in a dohc all alum. PENT ROOF HEADS has an attraction that can't be overstated...lets see a ls7 run wot for 5000 miles!!! the zr-1 is in a class by itself!!!

that's a decent price, a bit high. the zr-1 is quite the beast and the 93 - 95s are my favorite. Bryan is right, I still have my highly modified 87 Turbo T, owned since new. and my fav which is LPE 95 zr-1 which is sneaking up on 50k fun filled miles

good luck with your search, the 94 is a great year and if the car is in excellent shape it's worth the 33k. although the prices are starting to drop off a bit now that the c6 z06 is out.

So Ray-

Did you pick one up yet??

BBBAD94ZR1 · 11-12-2005

Nope, still looking for the right one, I looked at a 94 black. It had paint work
not interested.
I will have to be patient and Im sure I will find the right car.
