Opinions on this ‘91 please. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

You didn't mention if the sound system was fully functional, many of them aren't. That's something you can beat the dealer up about if it's not.

There are quite a few problems with this car that bring it's value down. Not massive issues that would make you walk away, but even if you bought it for $12K you could have way over $20K in it before it was sorted out.

Unless you have the time, inclination, and skills to rehab a ZR-1, I'd buy a fresher one to start with. As this one does not have a dirt cheap price tag.

BTW, that long crank startup problem, aside from the noise, could be the fuel pumps. I recently replaced mine, and it cured that immediately.
