Should I buy this ZR1 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

PatC · 06-21-2005

Ive found a black on black 90 ZR1 with 93k miles. Car is in good condition, radio dosent work, tires are near bald, and shifts into 3rd are greeted with a grinding noise. Seller is asking $17k. Is this car worth $17k? Should I offer less? Should I run away and look for another? Thanks

Tires will cost you about $1000+. The radio might be similar as they had the Bose (which is never cheap to replace/repair). I believe that 3rd gear thing can be one of a few things: http://www.zfdoc.com/faq.htm

I'm not the price-watcher, but I'd say that's slightly high. Maybe take $17-18k as the price and subtract the repairs necessary from that?
